What is best cleaner for driveway?

Ok, here's one. How do you get rust stains out of a newer driveway? Soaps or detergents haven't worked.

Just keep moving the Buick around the driveway to make new patterns

Either muratic acid (used for cleaning fireplaces ) from ur local hardware store or pour gas on it and kitty litter the gas will bring it to the surface and the kitty litter will soak it up:biggrin:

It's not very environmentally friendly; but kitty litter and gasoline works well.

I'm not a big fan of muriatic acid on cement.

You need to find some Tri Sodium Phophate (TSP) in powder form. Mix it up into a paste and make sure you wear gloves of some sort. Scrub it into the stain and let it sit. If you do this early in the morning before it gets hot and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour you should be able to get most of the stain out. Just make sure no one will get into it and you can wash it down with water. It sometimes bubbles as it works and it may change color as well.

Have you thought about having the rest of the driveway stained to match?

Haha. That would require four early-90's Mustangs, which I don't have access to.

I use this stuff called "Drive-Up" - Works great! I found mine on the shelf at Sears Auto Center. Comes in a nice squirt bottle and is easy to use.

Their website is: www.driveupUSA.com

I just use some gasoline, let it soak a minute and wipe it up. Brake and parts cleaner works good too.
