Clean it with TSP and let it dry. Then rub powdered drywall into the stain
and let it set for a few days. Repeat with the drywall until the stain is
gone. This might take two or three months to get rid of the stain. Ive heard
Portland cement also works for this.
Ooops, this is for cleaning a stain on concrete, dont know what it would do
on asphalt.
