I used Gunk's Pathclear to clean oil from my drive ..... works pretty well & doesn't make a mess  :y

if theres a big pool of it (been there done that  ::)) put loads of cat litter on it to absorb most of it. sweep it up. throw away

then use the stuff andy posted.

if theres not a ''pool'' just go straight with the gunk  :y

Yep, Gunk is still the best, don't need posh pathclear, just Gunk will do........... :y :y

OK just looked online, Gunk seems to have gone post and specialised, so yes, go for the pathclear, things have moved on since I did my drive in 1985............ ::) ::) :-[

Daz Automatic washing powder is pretty good for fuel... But for some reason, it must be Daz :-\

Needs a bit of elbow grease too ;)

No... Water and elbow grease  ;) :D

Seriously though... Sprinkle on, very small amount of water and scrub with a stiff brush... Rise and repeat as needed :y 

Don't know about ATF though

Lidl's cheepo special does the trick too  :y
Hot water out of the kettle first.
A nice sprinkling of magic powder and a good scrub with a hard hand brush.
Rinse off with a touch more of boiling water then blast the bugger with the jet wash to get rid of he rest  :y

I don't know about that but apparently you pour it on and using a brush give it a scrub then wash off
