0:00 Introduction
0:38 Brush away all dirt and dust from the surface
0:44 If grease oil stains are present, pressure wash these away with a heavy duty concrete degreaser or cleaner
1:03 Check if the concrete is ready for painting by running your hand over the surface
- If it feels like 180 grit sandpaper or rougher, then you’re ready to paint

1:58 Thoroughly rinse the surface with the pressure washer and clean water, to remove all evidence of the acid mixture
