Oil stain on driveway

So the fairy is taking the stain off the slab slowly may take a few days. Having issues getting it off the metal drain covers any ideas?

3 washes but still a mark will it fade? Power wash? Keep cleaning maybe?

I put some gunk down which seems to improved it a lot will the weather take rest off or another bottle?

Wipe some waste oil over them to give a consistent appearance on the whole surface, also serving to help prevent corrosion.

Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over stain add washing up liquid mix to a paste and scrub, works everytime. Trouble is cleaned area looks better than the rest 🤣

We had a faulty oil filter installed on our car when it was being serviced, that leaked oil onto our brand new block paved drive. You couldn't have made it up.

We used this stuff  OT8

Ours would have been an earlier formula, but it did the job. Wasn't cheap though.
