  1. There’s totally enough different marks there for a conclusive scientific experiment! :bucktooth:

    I want to see how my brake cleaner compares to other suggestions!

  2. Ignoring my Harpic debacle, I did have success with carb/choke cleaner that I sprayed onto each blob/stain, left it for about 2 or 3 minutes to let it soak in to thin the oil, then ignited with a lighter to burn off the oil. This required several repetitions, the stain getting noticeably less visible each time..
     
  3. I’ll give it a go. :joy: Surely the brake cleaner will evaporate before making any impact

  6. Round 2
    Attacked with a hard bristle broom, seems to be a big clean spot but oil stains still slightly visible.
    Went at it when it outside temp was very hot and in direct sunlight
