I found that oil dripped onto the drive was best removed with a biological washing powder, liberally sprinkled over the offending marks and then scrubbed furiously with a yard broom. Works reasonably well on concrete but is useless if you have a brick drive.
Gravel is, of course, best removed and replaced but she'll still spot any colour variation from what was there 6 months ago so only remove the oil stained bit and mix any new gravel in with the old. Think "The Great Escape" and the disposal of the soil dug out of the tunnels and you may have a chance. whistle:

It is stamped concrete... However, the sun is so fierce here spilt oil quickly breaks down... probably like....  whistle:

But a dozen of these:-

Removes oil, grease, skin, catholics and all other unwanted mess.

Use is an aired garage or outside otherwise you'll be high as a kite. Fantastic stuff.

I love the way the Haynes manual says "Extract the split pin and withdraw the clevis pin", neglecting to mention that you need the skills of a keyhole surgeon and/or gynaecologist in order to do so...  evil:
