I bought a new car. Now, what about the oil stains on my driveway from the old one? Any special tricks for removing them with out damaging the concrete? The drive way is broom finished.
My second question: We would like to colour the patio and side walk concrete. Is there any kind of stain for doing this? ( I suggested staining to match the stains in the driveway. – she didn’t appreciate the humor) Anyway, all our concrete is broom finished. We where thinking some kind of earth tone colour. I don’t like the idea of paint, but maybe stain would work. Any ideas?
