How can I remove oil/ATF from a newly paved driveway? [solved]
I had my asphalt driveway repaved this spring, and of course my car has started leaking - ATF in this case.
How can I remove it?

First fix the leak! Then attack the stain with a bristle brush and some dish detergent; if that doesn't do it, there are commercial cleaners for asphalt or concrete, like this that are a bit stronger. Don't expect 100% results, but the stain will fade over time:
A cheaper and quick way is to spray or pour a standard house cleaner such as Windex or laundry detergent on the spot you need cleaned and leave it for a good 15 to 20 minutes then rinse with warm water and it should go away especially if it is fresh leak. Good luck!
Windex and laundry detergent have very different properties. Any info on whether either of these will clean ATF or negatively interact with asphalt or concrete? - BMitch 7 years ago
