[Vwdiesel] My very own Gulf of Mexico

So tonight, I'm out changing the oil in the TDI after dark (when the
temps had dropped to 95º). Everything's going smooth and I haven't
spilled a drop on the driveway. I'm sure y'all can tell where this is
headed. After starting the engine, I hop out to check for leaks and
step on the oil drain pan like a ornery milk cow. 3.5L of oil go
everywhere. I immedately dumped 30# of clay oil absorbent on it, but
I'm sure there'll be a huge oil stain. My garage floor is a total loss
already, but I'd been keeping the driveway clean. Anyone have any
success with any cleaning products for oil in concrete? Gasoline, etc.
might work but I'm not willing to risk burning the place down. I've
read about a few products that are "biological" agents, basically a
detergent and a mild fertilizer. I'm inclined to think "scam", but I'm
curious if anyone has tried them to find out for sure. I do know that
there are bacterial based parts cleaners that work.
