my DH (who does covacrete for living) says you will need to clean with a geurney, when its dry, reseal it using a roller and sealer. If this doesnt get rid of it, you will need to have it resprayed. It may come off just with the geurney though -Sha Re: HELP! random spots all over my concrete driveway! WTF? image 4Jan 10, 2009 6:05 pm pressure clean and reseal wont fix it
its salt either from the subbase or from the sand/aggregate in the concrete goto a paver supplier and get anti-eff this with several applications may neutralise the salt but if it dosnt then only time and leaching will solve the problem it isnt the concretors fault etc could be the last of aggregate in bin at concrete plant and all the salts etc have leached to base of bin and you got it, also if it rained on the day or a day or so after pouring this can also trigger eff. resealing wont do anything other than take cash from your wallet Da Vinci Outdoor Living Architectural landscaping http://www.davincioutdoor.com Re: HELP! random spots all over my concrete driveway!

The driveway is obviously sealed, so will the anti-eff product penetrate through the sealer? -Sha Re: HELP! random spots all over my concrete driveway!
