I use a product called Allgone. It is a green cleaner and will remove even paint and can be hosed down as well is biodegradable. It cost $15.00 a bottle of 32oz but goes a long way. Would you like me to send out a sample to see if it works for you? I have not tried it on this type of sealer and would like to know how it works it should work.

there are several things you can try. I would first try a real strong alkaline stripper. I have even used caustic soda in extreme cases. If this doesnt work some of the methlyene chloride free safe strippers might work. They take a while to react but they do work.

Last week we did a stone job for a client of ours. When we finished the job she showed me her paver driveway which appeared to be stained brown and the paver themselves were very dark like they had been color enhanced. Anyway she told me she had someone seal the pavers with a solvent based sealer. I used acetone and a brush and was able to strip the product off and return the paver to its original color.She was thrilled!
I wasnt that excited and wished I had left sooner. Another stripping job!
I cant strip 2000 sq ft with acetone. The joints are filled with a colored sand that I believe caused the staining in the first place,
Does anyone know a product that could be used with minimal agitation and could be sucked up into a vaccum cleaner safely.
I would probably test a few strippers and cure removers before committing but I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts.
The acetone worked very quickly. I wonder if the product ever cured properly.
