Oil Stains on Dumpster Pads

I understand its extremely difficult to get up oil stains around the dumpster pads. Engine oil that is. But what is the best method you guys have found for cleaning this as best as you can?

This last job we did we ended up putting about 5 gal of ripper 2 down on the 400 or so sq ft of the loading area and then cleaned with a hot water "28 surface cleaner at 3000 psi and 5 GPM. It worked extremely well and pulled up everything except the majority of engine oil drippings. We ran over it a couple of times with the surface cleaner and decided it was the best that could be done. Just to give it all we had we dropped a couple of gallons of bleach on it just in the hopes of lightening it up some. That worked very minimally. Is there anything you suggest we do?

I have been a follower of this forum for a long time now and really appreciate the knowledge you guys share. Its hard to find honest people these days and I'm glad I've found some here. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Come on guys, 44 views and no one has experience with this?
 
A high caustic degreaser would get all the oil that can be got. Hydrofluoric acid will lighten or eliminate oil stains but extreme caution needs to be observed in its use.
