Don't tread on me..or my shirt...


I came home to a mess of oil on my driveway the other day. I hate oil on my driveway and I am not too excited about tire marks either, spending hours pressure spraying all the encrusted clay and black rubber marks left behind. Next to a root canal, this sucks.

Best bet: Storing a can of Brake Parts Cleaner in your garage which I then begin to spray on the remnants of this alien attack- as no one in my home has any idea where the oil came from, including my three teen aged drivers and their friends with old leaky cars. Must of been ET!

It worked like magic. I just sprayed it on the oil drips and spots, then it pulled a David Blaine, and disappeared before my eyes. Like a kid with a new Christmas toy, I was in search of any random stain on my driveway. Old or new, they just disappeared!

Taking it a step further, I remembered that great Armani shirt in my closet, sporting a stellar Quarter Pounder with Cheese stain on the front. You know the stain, we all have at least one in our closet. I hit it once with my new friend, let it dry for a few minutes, popped it in the Maytag and the evidence of my drive thru lunch was gone. I was amazed. All the Tide pens in the world couldn't touch this, but brake cleaner... who knew?

I hope every guy out their has an oil spot or two to remove from his concrete driveway just so you can see this stuff in action. If not, borrow a neighbors stain, or just make one yourself.

Don't forget, it works great for brake parts too!
