i've had a wee accident and need to clean lots of oil off of our brick drive.

i normally use petrol and scrub to get rid of small leaks, but this is a vast amount.
any miracle cleaners you can buy or special techniques?

excellent, cheers guys.
my bloody oil catch tank wouldn't drain into the container as fast as the sump pissed it all out

was absorbed in a fair bit before i was able to move the car outta the way and try and get it up.

had a scrub with unleaded which helped a bit, bought some jeyes drive cleaner from homebase, but not tried it yet.
if it's no good (not holding my hopes high for it) then i'll go on the hunt for this gunk one.
