By accident a few drops gooped out of the bottle that I was holding of Megs Endurance onto my stone driveway and it looks as if it never dried (looks like an oil spill). I am really screwed if it`s not gonna come off, I already tried Lestoil (grease/oil remover) with a brush but no luck..help!

Try Tide laundry powder version. Take it and spread it over the stain. Add just a little water to make a paste and srub it in. This the best thing I know of. Others chime in.

I spill stuff(megs endurance included) on my garage floor all the time(concrete), and doesn`t stay there for too long. I just use water and rinse it and it goes away after a few days or weeks.

Eventually it will dissipate and go away.

It may be too late now but I usually apply all tire shine products in the street. Something to try next time. It should wash away over time.

LOL! Try getting No-Touch on your driveway. I spray my wheel wells with it and it doesn`t stain, but apparently seals it. Funny thing is, you can`t tell where it is until it rains. When it rains, that concrete doesn`t change colors (and is extremely slick).

LOL I hear ya. It`s a little annoying though... because the rest of the driveway gets wet and dark, EXCEPT those spots that just bead water :grinno:
It`s pretty crazy. I think my driveway seal comes from AA tire foam, when I spray it in the wells and stuff. You can spray that spot of concrete for a long time and never get it "wet"...

My driveway it stone, and its very porous, so the stain is harder to remove. I tried APC (Total Auto Wash) and scrubbed it in, it barely made a dent. What do they put in this stuff? Next thing to try is either a jackhammer or a sander, maybe a stick of dynamite will do the trick.
I usuually take my car to the street when I use AA foam spray. The stains are still there after many months so I`m not buying the "it washes away after a while" theory.
In all seriousness, waht about wheel cleaner like Megs Hot Rims, it has acid, so maybe it will dissolve the stain.

Purple Power Degreaser and a wire brush

The thought of using an acid base cleaner on stone is quite scary:soscared: .
Depending on the stone it might have a bad reaction. If you really want to attempt it, maybe try a stone that is in a discreet spot, not one that stands out ....like the one in the middle of the driveway.
I don`t know what to say....How about an alkaline base cleaner? or maybe a (VOC free) engine degreaser? (Here`s one where the die-hard Dawn fanatics might say)...try Dawn???? Maybe, try an absorbent agent then then scrub away the remnant?
Good luck....let us know what you come up with.
