Need to clean some hardcore grease. Other than degreaser is there anything else that's effective?

citrus degreaser
heaps better then the petroleum/solvent based types i find
leaves a cleaner finish

can buy some real potent stuff that damages plastics etc if not diluted

Depends where it is I spose. If its on concrete it shouldn't be as hard to remove.

I've tried getting oil/grease out of my driveway to no avail.

Citrus based cleaners, CLR, CLR anti oil crap + high pressure hose. Nothing gets the **** out! :(

Landlord is gonna bend me over. Fruck!

I've heard of this stuff called flash, apparently need gloves when your handling it/ using it otherwise it will burn you... but can get grease off anything.

methylated spirits mixed 3:1 with distilled water.
Will make a strong degreaser but is still safe on paintwork.
