pressure washing, or some specialty cement cleaner... purple power works kinda too... works great for cleaning up blood stains from my trunk.

I have some good cement cleaner, its Mueriatic Acid, it gets anything out of cement, but if your using it on your driveway it will take the tar out of the asphalt too.
