Hi guys. I'm a heating engineer with a bit of spare time for obvious reasons. I want to remove some old paint from brickwork on the outside of my house. The bricks are soft reds & the paint has been there for years. It's not gloss & I can sand it off relatively easily but would rather put a fluid on & possibly jet wash it off. A wire brush leaves gouges & scratches also the bricks are very porous. Once cleaned, I want to repoint & seal. Any ideas please? Also any hints on cleaning dirty areas of unpainted peebledashing (without washing all the stones away!)

Brick acid any good for you?
Not sure if it'd be too harsh for those bricks though
