My mate swears by it, you need to experiment a little with the strength, but worth a try.

Yes! If it removes mortar sand and limescale it will most certainly damage your paint. Find something more paint friendly. I would possibly try something like this on a test area and have a hose ready to wash it off immediately it comes in contact with the paint perhaps? This looks good but I would mask off well beforehand...... If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

I have a test bit of ally so can practice on that.
As long as the surface is paintable after using brick acid, that would be good. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

That did indeed look really good - have to wonder what the magic ingredients are 
Would be interesting to know whether the newly cleaned surface stayed clean or actually deteriorated really quickly and so needed more and more frequesnt treatments to retain the clean look. |
