Well guys, I spent about 10 minutes cleaning the ATF spots with some brake cleaner and paper towels. It's much better, so I'm confident the pressure washer will take care of it no problem. No pics, so I may be lying.

In other news, the box truck is back on the road. Insignificant, I know.

x2 regarding the slab. I bet Pressure washer won't do that.

pour liquid TIDE on it and let it sit before you wash it.
You might get lucky
but
the fluids had a chance to soak in.
that makes it pretty tough to clean
maybe TSP will bleach it out

If you have enough ATF, poor it on the rest of the driveway! If the whole slab is stained, is it really stained?

Yeah, it's all relative, right?!

Honestly, I don't care if it is stained. I hit it with some brake cleaner and rags the other day and got the bulk of it up. It's a shop, so I'm not really worried about the concrete looking pristine.

The update everyone's been waiting for.

Here's what the concrete looks like today.


Never hit it with the pressure washer...just the brake clean and towels that I mentioned above. Not bad, eh?

That did come up pretty good, Mother Nature and time will take care of the rest. I have to say whoever did the concrete work did a good job with the finish work.

It's running great. I missed a hose clamp on one of the heater hoses when I was putting it back together. The hose held by itself for nearly 100 miles, but eventually popped off about 50 miles from home a few weeks ago - which provided some excitement as well as a near heart attack. Once I figured out what the issue was (and corrected it), all's been fine since.
