I have read that brake cleaner is the way to go. I haven't actually tried it myself yet, but I plan to when the weather warms up.

You might try wd40, i use it on my driveway and it works great.
Just spray it on, brush it with a stiff brush and rinse off. For heavy stuff you may have to do it 2 or 3 times

Brake cleaner is good for concrete. Do NOT use on asphalt driveway.

Hell I use dawn liquid soap - or my car washing soap if im too lazy to go to the kitchen. pour the soap on the spots, scrub it with a broom, let it sit a little, rinse, repeat for beautiful manageable hair, errrr. repeat for stubborn stains.
