Default Brake cleaner for driveway spots works

Did the oil change on my 95. After I pulled out of the car port, noticed I left a spot of oil. Didn't quite have my spill pan completely under my filter.

Shot it with some brake cleaner and blotted with a paper towel. Came right out. Tried it also on an old spot from the jeep and it mostly came out.

If I worked on the older spot a bit more I may get it almost completely out.

Don't know if this is old knowledge but it might help someone.

I will note that my slab was only poured about 6 months ago so the spots haven't worked way down in the concrete.

Some of these sprays are high solvent based and might not be good for the environment and water table. It certainly is hard to deal with these marks on a driveway. I have used Pour/Restore with some success. Try to look for something biodegradable when possible.
