In that same isle is PAINT stripper and can be used for very, very thick grease. Most likely what he used. Not really safe.
 
I agree Jim, probably either paint stripper or mineral spirits. Both of those will soften up the top layer of the oil. This will make the stain appear clean after a rain or pressure washing, but after it has dried the oil in the concrete comes back up. THis could be the reason for his "never mind" quote later in the thread. My guess is he went back a few day's later and discovered the oil stain looks exactly like it did before. But again, this is a guess, only a guess and nothing but a guess as it has happened to me before.

He should have taken some advice from us here and tried some B200 and not try to do chemical testing on his own. I have learned from years of cleaning not to go throwing chems around that you dont have a company backing your decision to use for certain applications. In other words. Why re-invent the wheel??
 
Almost makes a guy want to go into faltwork........:ignore:

The secret was MEK, it did work well, but this stuff isn't something you want to be putting on the ground! so I didn't want to say the name so people would not be buying it... I really hope Andy spills some on his Pink Barbie shirt for making fun of my G.I. Joe's!

MEK is bad stuff. We used a lot of it in the aircraft industry. It will absorb through the skin and go straight to the kidneys where it will do some damage. Not a good choice for our industry.

On December 19, 2005, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency removed butanone (MEK) from the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). After technical review and consideration of public comments, EPA concluded that potential exposures to butanone emitted from industrial processes may not reasonably be anticipated to cause human health or environmental problems. Emissions of butanone will continue to be regulated as a volatile organic compound because of its contribution to the formation of tropospheric (ground-level) ozone.

This is some nasty stuff....used to weld plastics too.
