O/T: What is the best way to remove power steering fluid from concrete?
My daughter's car leaked some power steering fluid on the driveway last night. Other than "kitty litter" what is the best way to remove power steering fluid from concrete? Thanks in advance for your help!

100% Simple Green (apply, soak) and a power washer should do the trick.
You could also try a can of brake cleaner and wipe by hand, then Simple Green and pressure wash.

Next month. I want to close on our home first but the builder is taking their sweet @ss time finishing the house. We do have a closing date finally. 
The only problem is that the more I wait the more I talk myself into other choices for a car(s).

My kid spilled some Griots wax on the macadam last week. 100% Simple Green and a stiff brush removed it with ease. Give that a try. The macadam looks the same - maybe I should try Zaino on it....

I like option 1 since I love the 996GT3 more than any other car in the porsche lineup and would love to learn how to drive it properly on the track since it doesn't have all the masking sissy electronic aids. But......I really love the 997GT3 since it will be just a great on the track (if not better) as well has a better ride on the street when selected NORMAL on the PASM setting. But.......I really like the idea of having a TOTAL track car and a GT cruiser since I don't have to worry if anything happens to the track car on an older car since it would be cheaper to fix. Oh the frickin choice I have for the next month and a half!

I couldn't tell you how many I have read and every one tells me to buy the damn thing. We can swing it but I am not sure I want to swing it. Alot of $$$ to spend on a car I am going to take to the limits the best of my ability on the track.....which keeps me coming back to option #3.
