I have heard that if you pore a bottle of coke on oil it works?

go to Halfords or other motorists toyshop. Buy a litre or so of Gunk Driveway Clear for £3.99 (this is the detergent one that can mix with water, it is a strong detergent. There is a different version of Gunk engine degreaser in metal tins used by older traditionalists that you don't want)

Brush the first coat in, neat, and leave it to work for ten minutes or more (preferably on a warm day) but don't let it dry. Rinse off, brushing, with a hose.

Repeat as necessary.

Don't use solvents.

If you buy the stuff in the tins, don't come crying to me.
