Get rid of dirtClean concrete surfaces with Techniseal’s HD Paver Preparator. Designed for heavy-duty work, it is specially formulated to dissolve tough efflorescence (whitish salt) and remove ground dirt on pavers, slabs and retaining walls made of concrete. It works deeply without discoloring or damaging the material, brightens colors, cleans evenly and enables sealants to better penetrate the surface. Techniseal
