pressurewasher Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 After working on several cars and projects on the driveway it's finally time to do a little clean up. What will work best, a pressure washer or some kind of stain remover or just repaint the driveway? The stains are pretty bad.

Arrowhead32 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah, repainting the driveway would be a tremendous hassle and likely cost you more in supplies than just renting a power washer and wiping away the stains yourself. It's been a while since I power washed the driveway, but the whole job only took about an hour to an hour and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooljoe Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Step 1- pressure wash with a detergent to break get rid of the oils. BTW, you need to use a pressure washer that has a lot of PSI in order to remove the oily layer... Step 2- right after it dries, use a sealer specialized for drive ways or garages. regular home wall paint won't do. Step 3- continue working on cars with out having to see oil stains. better is to epoxy... here is an old video from this old house (notice how they use a dewalt drill to mix the epoxy )... though this is more towards a garage floor... http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/video/0,,20047070,00.html here is another video that is more recent... http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/video/0,,20503913,00.html now in 2012, they should have concrete color epoxy for your drive way... so i believe... i could be wrong.
