I have a stone paver driveway that is not sealed as it is fairly new. A
guest's car had an oil leak on the driveway. I have tried the oil remover
that is safe to the environment and not supposed to harm the grass but it
doesn't work that well and I still have a darker discoloration on the stone.
Can anyone advise me about a procedure or product that has worked for them?
Thanks.

Chances are you will not be able to get it all out. However I suggest a
bag of kitty litter and a can of naphtha. Pour on some naphtha and then the
kitty litter to absorb it. It can help to cover it with plastic to give it
more time to work. Repeat.

you could also try a pressure washer after the cat litter..

I dont know about the others but i have used "fast orange" hand
cleaner in the past and also GOJO with excellent results...I even use
it on my clothing for oil or grease as a pre treatment to wash it works
better than any high priced "leading brand"
