Here is a link. Started off as a boating product. Now automotive stores sell it. Good stuff. Smells though.

get a dog and have him use his lawn as his personal toilet. Just a number 1 will leave brown spots all over the lawn. I should know, we have 3 neighbor dogs who moved in last month and have destroyed my beautiful lawn.

Hey toy4two, go to Pet Smart or one of those pet stores and you can get a spray bottle of liquid you spray on the brown spot caused by dogs (sorry can't remember the name or brand). It is green colored when you spray it on but a few days later the brown spot is gone. Read the label directions. My daughter has a dog that was leaving brown spots all over the lawn, found the stuff at Pet Smart, used it and it works. I believe you water the area a few hours later or next day, but don't have to. Just read the label on what you find there as some are meant to be sprayed on the spot, others you feed to the dog to prevent spots.

So if I gave some to my Dalmation, he'd turn into an Albino?

Keep washing your car in the driveway. Make sure the soap sud flow onto his lawn. Soon he will have no grass to water. j/k
