What is the drive, stone, tarmac etc...
Stone, brick, concrete and flags use a bit of petrol and rub in with a brush then dry it off with kitchen towel. Careful though.

for some ideas. I'd be cautious of using petrol, it risks embedding some of the stain even deeper into the material.

That's a great article. My dad wants a glossy sealant on his block paving and that article is very enlightening! smile
