Urgent!! - Aug 5th, 04, 06:22 PM
Hi guys,

Using cold water PW, how can I remove cement drops, water based paint spots (emulsion) and limestone from brick pavers on a patio? What type of chemicals/pressure/spray angle? Thanks

You need some acid and a stripper.

X-Crete is okay at removing cement drips and drops if it's not too thick.

Acid and a stripper? Sounds like James is from the 70's......

Seriously, muriatic acid for the cement drops and perhaps a paint stripper designed for use on latex should help you out.

Buy the muriatic acid, there should be some instructions on the jug. Cold water will work for these situations.

End up using cloridric acid, worked fine but I had to rinse like crazy. I had to anyway; there was a lot of grass there.
