Manual Cleaning of Debris from Surface
• Wash, sweep, scrape, chip, or grind the surface to remove loose
concrete and foreign materials such as paint, greasy residue, algae,
mildew, or other materials which may be stuck to the old surface.
Pressure Washing
• Clean the surface using a minimum 2500 PSI (17.2 MPa) pressure
washer.
NOTE: This step is essential to ensure a proper bond.
• Follow pressure washer manufacturer’s instructions as to safe
operation and effective use.
Penetrated oil or grease stains can be removed with QUIKRETE

Oil
Stain Remover (No. 8670-06) or detergent washing. Be sure to rinse
