Is there anyway to remove oil stains from driveway pavers? I have tried a product from Home Depot with no luck. I also tried bleach but again no success.

Have you tried cat litter? Put a heavy layer over stain and let it sit. After several hours or the next day sweep it up. If needed repeat until you get all that is going to come up. Then scrub with a degreaser.

You should try catlitter. It does sound kinda crazy, but it works.

Under absorbents you want Oil Gator which will absorb any free hydrocarbons and then bacteria will work on feeding on and therefore destroy any oils remaining.  It absorbs the oil, encapsulating it rather than just coating the outside of a clay pebble as happens with cat litter type products.
