how to remove paint spots soaked in concrete
The previous owner left white paint spots all over the concrete porch and as you can tell the concrete is getting very discolored from over the past 7 years. I used my pressure washer yesterday, but that didn't do much. What's my best approach to make this area look better? Paint stripper, 80 coarse sandpaper, etc...

Probably the best way is to 'gently' scrape off the paint and then reclean the porch floor. A chemical paint stripper would also work but would be overkill and might discolor the concrete.

Thanks. The directions for the paint stripper say to leave it on for only 15-20 minutes. Is it safe to leave it on for 1-2 hours? Will that make it easier to remove the paint?

What about using something like this afterwards ?
