Glad to help!

Let me know how it goes!

I love experimenting and helping out folks. Glad you found a little value!

I'm just keepin' it real! And it gets pretty real around here 😁😅😅

@@soyourwifewantsyouto I don’t know if if you have r tree er

Hey there! I just now saw your comment! That's funny! But really, when I look at my analytics, 33% of my viewers are female. I'm thinking it's the wives scouting out how to do something so they can get their guys out working haha☺️😁 Thank you for being a subscriber, and if you have any video ideas, let me know... Maybe I'll do one!

So Your Wife Wants You To Wife here who wants her driveway oil stain gone. Yep, I’m doing research.

Same.....and what a badass video too. Gonna try this out

Great to hear! If you get more, check out my latest video where I use a big torch... But be careful if you do...

Great success story!

No prob 😃

Try the torch method in the linked video at the end of this one. It worked better.

I know ..I was pretty happy with it! 💪

What kind of acetone because i used goo off 3x and power wash and it barely budged . Getting ready to resurface the whole driveway

@@tnk325i go to the hardware store and ask for acetone. It's in the paint section.

@@soyourwifewantsyouto also what about the gold assassin pretty high reviews.

@@tnk325i I've never heard of that. If you try it let us know!

Haha thank you! I figured it's a great model for a channel.... I'll never run out of ideas for more content! 😆😆

Yea thats for sure !!! Lol

Thank you! I came here to say the same thing! Lol

I guess the cement is more porous than it seems...

Let us know what works for you. Based on what people are saying, I'll try a torch next... Video to come, so subscribe and stay tuned 😁🙂

Report back on here how your stains fared. Best of luck!

Concrete sealant leaves a layer of protective dried chemical on the top of your concrete. That way if oil or dirt or anything else gets on the concrete it can be washed off. Acetone, however, will dissolve that chemical layer and expose the concrete below. You will need to reseal

Good luck. Did you try a torch?

😬

You like fire even more than me! 😁🔥😎

I hear ya

What will remove gas from painted concrete

@@russelljones6716 hmmm... I've never done that. I'd be tempted to torch it but wouldn't want to ruin the finish of the painted concrete 🤔 I wonder if Dusty would know?

The concrete will get dirty again and should even out in color

Haha! 😆 It's funny... I'm different than a lot of KZfaqrs. I don't really plan out all my videos. It's more like real-time experimenting! So you're along for the ride with me! Thank you for hanging out... If you find a good oil stain solution, let us know here!

I haven't tried that. I'd test a little square and closely examine what it does. If it's unremarkable, try a bigger area where the oil is. I bet it will behave differently than with concrete. We are thinking the concrete was porous enough that the oil went deeper.. that wouldn't be true with asphalt.

@@soyourwifewantsyouto Asphalt and oil are basically different versions of the same thing. Therefore, something that would dissolve and lift one, will dissolve and lift the other. You would have to use a large amount, and the collateral damage to the asphalt wouldn't be a good thing. Probably the best remedy would be to have a new "slurry coat" applied to the driveway. A slurry coat is once again, another version of the same thing - but it will cover up (over-coat) the petro spills, and give the asphalt that fresh, new look. It should be done anyway every few years at a minimum to maintain the asphalt and keep it from naturally deteriorating and breaking up due to weather and use.

@@donaldworthington9552 @Kendall there's your answer! Thank you Donald!

Use a brick to scrub some kitty litter into the oil stain then sweep it up into a container for disposal.

I have never tried. Block paving is more porous so it may work better. But I don't want to tell you yes and then something bad happen. Maybe try a little spot and see what happens. Also, a torch worked well on concrete. But a block might crumble easier with torch heat. Sorry no definite answers 😬☺️

I keep pushing that further down the honey-do list 😆😆

aa

Lmao

Amazon.. amzn.to/3FV2tFL They're only about 4 bucks too. They were a Father's day gift! I got a couple pair.

I left it on there for a minute or 2. I just don't think it was going to do anything.

That's a whole different chemistry... I don't know...

Dang. Well at least one didn't happen after you cleaned the other! I'd start with getting the bulk of it cleaned up. Use cat litter, dry clay, sawdust, or similar to absorb the main stuff. Then you can worry about the leftover stains. Watch my other video on using a torch... It worked pretty well on concrete. Not sure about asphalt though...

Let us know how it works!

@@soyourwifewantsyouto I will.

So you're saying contact time is important for oil stain... Good thinking. Makes sense that the oil-laquer-thinner will need time to migrate into the towel.... I have another stain now so I'll give that a try. Another video!

Perhaps I'll try that on a future stain!

You can use the flame without the acetone to remove oil from a concrete slab. Just make sure the concrete is completely free of water because the heat will make it pop like a wet log in a fire. A heat lamp left on overnight will also work. In either case wipe up the oil with a rag before it cools and gets reabsorbed by the concrete. If that happens use some concrete patch material from the hardware store.

Haha! I just now saw this comment. Thank you! It truly is a never-ending honey-do list. 😁 But I celebrate being fortunate to figure things out and make my other half at least moderately happy 😉

I know! I thought so too...

Send me a little and I'll try it on video

I guess if the concrete is porous enough, that could definitely be.

or chemical reaction and made some potent gas out of it

@@jk66 unlikely

I agree, the acetone separated and thinned the oil, and the concrete absorbed it through capillary action. It makes me wonder, after a few rains, did it resurface at all?

My friend’s landlord’s nephew got some oil on a couple stone pavers, but I’m gonna try to do him a solid by getting it out. Out of all the household alternatives, it seems acetone is the winner, but I can’t find anything on long term damage. The property is historic, and I’d rather not screw it up lol

I'll try that next time.. though the torch method worked pretty well too...

My driveway. I had a leaky car. 😁

What if it's sealed? Any way to remove oil stain ? Thanks

Makes sense, thank you!

Good thinking

@@soyourwifewantsyouto You're Welcome! Give it a try. It removes 95%. Spray the area generously with brake cleaner, then with carburetor cleaner. Quickly spread cat litter on top of the area. Shuffle and crush the cat litter around with your boots. Leave sit for 15 minutes. Sweep away.

@@mrBDeye I since bought a new(er) car that thankfully doesn't leak oil. But I'll definitely remember that! Makes sense since you clean oil off things by using brake parts cleaner. We are some brilliant minds, I tell ya! 😁😎

You got it 100% right! 😅😂😂

Chloroform

Yeah i know i'm just kidding.

@@vairnenasyt5239 haha! Better to just apply fire 🔥🔥 More fun anyway

Don't combine chemicals... Good safety point that I failed to emphasize.

I don't understand what you're asking.

Interesting! That's a similar chemical as acetone but with a higher molecular weight so it'll stick around longer... And as it solubilizes the oil, the cat litter absorbs it. Genius! 😊

Best to not combine them 😅

Maybe don't... #chloroform #CleanTillYaChoke

He said wire brush

Makes sense, thank you!

Let me know when you upload a video and I'll subscribe.

Haha! Car is sold now 🤗

Sure. If you never check the ____g oil level for weeks, months at a time. Cleaning the drive way and putting something down on it to absorb the oil is a lot cheaper than hundreds or thousands of dollars to fix a small leak.

@@spikespa5208 😂😂

I got my car fixed but lots of oil stains... I am glad for whatever he did because this video helped me!!

Thanks grrl 😎 I'm just happy helping people out. And I make a leetle bit of money doing the Amazon link thing too.

What it it?

Makes sense, thank you!

I guess I didn't realize the concrete is that porous... I think from now on I'll just torch it 😁

That's why I love my viewers... You all bring value to the comments! Thank you for that ☺️

Good point

I bet! I since bought a big propane torch... Took care of it!

Thank you

I've tried letting cat litter sit on there... Also dry clay-based dirt. It kinda works... Not good enough to make it invisible...

@@soyourwifewantsyouto if its a fresh oil stain, never tried it with old ones, but if you rub the cat litter in, (say standing and shuffling on it) it will essentially sand the concrete down and get rid of it pretty well.

@@kanyonphillips6381 awesome! Hopefully people read this and try it out 😊😁

Scrub the cat litter into the concrete with a brick or a piece of 2x4 then sweep it up and place it in a container for disposal. Rinse the area with water afterwards.

It's in the description of the video. But I copied it for you... Here you go! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJuajNeGsrLQYnk.html

😆 she's always right! It's fixed now 😁😁

I'll do a video on it. Thank you!

It's a small enough quantity and used in a controlled manner... Plus it evaporated pretty quickly in the warm weather. But I agree with you... Any ignition source will carry with it the risk of burns. Thank you for your comment! ☺️

@@soyourwifewantsyouto you guys are awesome but I saw a lady used comment to get her oil stain out of her driveway I'm going to try it and thank you for sharing.

@@mrsmitchell6507 you mean Comet cleaner? Cool! Let me know how it works...I have another stain so maybe I'll do another video 😁

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you she use bacon soda or baking powder first the one in The Orange Box and then she sprinkled her comment on top of it and then water and scrubbed it.

@@mrsmitchell6507 jesus christ lady common sense... unless you pour 4 gallons over the whole drive way right up to the edge of the house and light it up within seconds youll be fine... you could empty that whole quart on the driveway and intentionally light it it wont affect the house thats 20ft away hmmm i wonder if thatd be effective at lifting and burning away the oil or just char the concrete

Haha! It's ok. I've since found that torching with fire is the best way so far. Thanks for the comment! Every comment helps KZfaq's algorithm reach more people, so I appreciate even comments like yours.
