very serious, brake cleaner and a lighter. Have rags ready with some spray nine or some cleaner to help absorb it after the fire goes down. Works like a charm on my driveway

I dont know how big it is.
But assuming not too big, brake cleaner.

I say not too big because brake cleaner is expensive.

very serious, I've worked around cars my whole life and I have tried everything under the sun which includes pressure washing and such. I have not tried spray paint remover tho I would imagine that could work too because that stuff is pretty much acid and will eat at pretty much whatever lol

Damn man, that's pretty cool. So basically just spray the area and light it on fire, then wait for it to go down?
