What is the floor material?

Is 535dboy's Q7 leaking already then?

@Kkodal78, I used to use good old biological washing powder(Persil, Aeriel, Tide etc), very hot water and a long handled brush.  It might take a couple of goes on block paving but it worked for me.

It is concreate.plain old cement.
My wife's old car was leaking oul from the turbo and messed it up and now i rearrange the garage a little bit and it is getting on my nerves. I have 2,5 years to clean it up which is when we need to vacate the house. But i want to get it done asap. I have a pressure washer, the only thing i need to do is fibd a hot water supply to it and some good cleaner
