MEK is not that dangerous. People here are recommending an acid that will dissolve concrete... MEK is far less dangerous.
I've seen your built thread so this result does not surprise me 
MEK = methyl ethyl ketone

MEK is bad ****, these guys are not joking when they say not to breathe it or get it on your skin.

Garage is very well ventilated and the spots are all close to the door, so it should work out.
I'm honored that you've read my thread!
Will be ordering that as well!
Best way to really get the **** out is to just grind, $150 for the grinder for a day and it'll be ready to take commercial epoxy. But you only need the oil look to go away so TSP is probably your best bet. Be careful with that in high concentrations as well since its quite basic and will burn you like acid will. Also dont breath the dust in for the same reason.

Base burns are worse than acid burns as things go.
Gonna try doing that next. Thanks leafy.
I tried some of the ish from home depot krud kutter or something. Didn't really do all that much so TSP is next and also going to try MEK. HD here didn't have it, but I think lowes does. Weird....

How do you guys keep your garage floors from getting filthy when you're working on stuff and how do you get stains out of them? I've seen a ton of videos on youtube, but it's always someone selling **** or saying that rubbing in kitty litter magically makes stains go away...
I'm trying to lift a few spots of oil out but curious how you guys do it. If it was up to me, I'd epoxy the floor, but sadly it's not my decision to make.

Steam cleaning or very hot water can help reduce those spots.
