I’m just expecting too much from White spirit as it cleans my chains, it’s too much on the bricks.
I’ll pick up some paint stripper from screw fix. Should do the trick.

Paint stripper if the paint is solvent will lift the paint, thinners etc. Would thin it and possible make is soak further into the slab.

What pubs do you go to?

Quite a few, but that just goes to show I used one for a bit too long today.

Granite slabs are none pourus.. But less mess is always a plus

I have got some white paint on some bricks & granite flag stones. I soaked a bit of white spirit on then went at it with a wire brush. It’s not shifted it at all. What can I try next some kind of acid?

Sand blast it. sorted.

I read the bricks and missed the granite bit, I respect your professional advise.

Is briik acid still a thing?

 

[Crackle]

It would work better than a Garmin I suppose.

Even Campag?

Be careful, you run the risk once the paint is removed of having some very clean bricks and flag stones! If you make a clean patch you'll have to do the rest to match!

 

[derrick]

Even Campag?

That's debatable.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Yes but it's for removing mortar, cement stains..

My wife did that after a Fox did it’s business on our front step.
She used neat bleach. We now have one area much lighter than the rest.
