Clemons Concrete and Paver Sealer Stripper
The only stripper on the market that was designed to remove failed Acrylic Concrete and Paver Sealers!
Concrete and Paver Sealer Stripper will remove failed “wet look” concrete and brick paver sealers. This product will remove sealers that have yellowed or turned white due to over-application, cheap inferior acrylics, or moisture.
Application:
Test a small area for results before application. Roll Stripper on concrete. Allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. If the surface is exterior, power wash residue away with water. For interior, use a scrub brush and a flat blade. Stubborn coatings will require multiple applications of stripper. Clean with CLEMONS DEGREASER NEUTRALIZER and rinse with clean water. NOTE: Timing is critical. Test film periodically to determine readiness for removal. Removing too soon will leave a coating. If left too long, the coating will dry and re-seal. Reapplication of the stripper will “reactivate” the surface if it has dried.
Square footage is dependent on previous coatings. Typically covers 75-150 feet per gallon.
Is there a recommended max temperature for using this product? I’m removing 1-year old SB-600. I live in the south-west (hot summers) and am trying to figure out if I can use this product sooner rather than later? Thanks!
Max temp would be around 80-85.
Looks like you need to strip it from sealer discoloration.
so your product will take care of my issue.i have tried power washing and multible off the shelf products with no success
If the issue is from an old sealer that is disclosed, then yes, it will remove it. It is hard to determine from the pics what “exactly” is causing this discoloration. If you want to test spot, you can use this instead:

We recently put down polymeric sand and sealed with Dominator LG sealer. The driveway looks awful. Not sure what happened but think we may have poly haze. Will Clemons Paver Sealer work? Will we have to reapply the sand as well?
Yes, it should strip it. After you may need to remove the poly sand haze as well. You will need to resand and reseal after.
Hi, I applied a solvent based sealer on my pavers each year for several years. The first year it looked great, now not so much. Will the Clemons sealer work to remove the sealer and what product do you recommend to reseal after? About how long can I expect the sealer finish to last? Thank you
Yes, it will remove the old coatings. Reseal with the Super Seal 25 or the Supreme Shield Sb-600. Redo every 2-3 years is normal.
Had my brick pavers sealed 3 years ago and are starting to turn white/ yellow. Which stripper do you recommend? RAD or concrete stripper?
Either one will work.
Thanks, is there a specific size roller to use if I don’t spray?
1/2″ nap.
I have a large paver driveway. It was sealed four years ago (I do not know the brand). Parts of it have recently turned white. Do I need to apply Sealer Stripper to the entire driveway or just the areas that have discolored and turned white?
Probably all as it is not possible to spot strip and have it even when done.
I put a penetrating water based sealer on stamped concrete, and it left white patches on various places. Will this stripper remove the white patches
What brand and sealer? Also, pictures of the issues would help.
Here are pictures of the resulting white patches, and the sealer I used.
A stripper will not fix this issue as the issue is not the sealer but something leeching out of your surface. Not sure what it is. Maybe efflorescence.
I tried an Efflorescence Remover, but it didn’t do anything.
Any ideas of what I should do?
No idea, sorry.
i installed a Glaze N Seal Lacquer on bluestone and it turned white from the moisture underneath the stone. will this product remove the sealer?
Yes.
Does this product remove a lacquer sealer as well?
Can this be used to strip failed sealer on an interior brick floor?
Outside only. We do not have anything for inside.
Can you purchase this in 1 gallon?
5-gallons only.
We used the stripper on our pavers and power washed it off.( looks great). Do we need to clean or degrease the bricks before sealing it?
Only if you have white soap residue from the stripper cleaning.
can I use Clemons Concrete Striper on natural Flagstone? What sealer should I use to achieve a wet look on a flagstone entry?Thanks
We have already answered both of these questions for you. You cannot use a wet look sealer on flagstone and yes you can use the Clemons Stripper to remove an acrylic-based sealer from flagstone.
I would like to know, if I could spray the CLEMONS CONCRETE PAVER SEALER STRIPPER instead of rolling it.
No. Needs to be rolled.
There are two kind Goof Off FG653 Professional Strength Remover, ANDGoof Off FG661 Professional Strength Remover which on is better.thanks
Not sure the diffrence so try either one.
I am going to apply the Clemons Concrete paver sealer stripper, and I would like to know what size of roller nap should I used.
1/2″.
Hello:I have used the DEFY ORIGINAL SYNTHETIC stain on my cedar fence. Few drops splash on the concrete pavers. What can I use to clean the stains from the concrete pavers?
Try Goof Off.
does this remove water based sealer that have residual concretes on brick pavers?
Not sure what you mean about residual concrete but it does remove water based acrylic sealers.
Is this the same as the 1 gallon sure strip product?
Not exactly the same formula.
It looks like only the 5 gal. are available?
Yes, that is correct.
when the Clemons paver sealer stripper be available?
Not 100% sure. Raw materials are the issue. We hope to have some in stock in the next week.
We have 15 pails in stock as of now. They will go fast.
Will his work on Behr low gloss paver sealer? It turned out concrete pavers into a milky streaky mess.
Yes.
It cannot.
We began attempting to strip our colored, stamped concrete with exposed aggregate edging this morning…the current seal is Behr Water-based wet-look seal that was applied approximately six years ago. We needed to strip as it was peeling, had white areas from last seal, etc. It was taking far too long with just power sprayer method and the area to be stripped is extensive; consisting of a patio and walkways that extend around the entire house. Could you please tell me if Clemons would be our best choice to continue with the project? I’m also concerned about it being caustic to plants-will it kill our grass, etc. if it gets rinsed off into the yard? Will it ruin paint on house if inadvertently splashed on it? The concrete is unevenly stamped (high-low areas in stamped pattern) so could you please also suggest best tool to apply/remove it with? I would greatly appreciate your help
Yes, the Clemons stripper is the best stripper out there for this. You will have to cover the house paint and rinse any overspray on plants very well to prevent damage. Roll it on and pressure wash off.
Will this Paver Seal Stripper remove Solvent/Xylene based gloss sealer that turned whiteafter 2 years??
Yes.
Will the Clemons Concrete Concrete and Paver Sealer Stripper damage or change the color of the stamped concrete?
It should not but it reapply depends on how well your installer stained or dyed the concrete when installed
I forgot to ask what water based sealer you recommend after the old sealer is removed? Thanks
Try Masonry Saver Decorative Concrete Sealer: https://www.opwdecks.com/masonrysaver-decorative-concrete-sealer-5-gallon.htm
I have a stamped concrete patio; 10 years old, color was added to the concrete truck. I have been using H&C water based natural look sealer. I applied it most recently 2 years ago but areas, especially in the sun, have turned white and are cracking and flaking. What product will remove the old sealer and will it damage or change the stamped concrete color? Thank you
Use the above product strip. After stripping, use the Cleaner Degreaser for final prep: https://www.opwdecks.com/cleaner-degreaser.htm
We used polymeric sand but got a downpour and steady rain the next day. Of course, the residue is covering the pavers . Will your product remove the white haze? Suggestions?
The stripper removes acrylic based sealers, not poly sand haze. You should contact the manufacturer of the sand for help.
Here is the missing picture from my previous post.
Will this stripper remove the white, shiny residue on by brick front porch. Attached are pictures. In one picture I show where I pressured washed a step with 3200 PSI. It porch is covered so it appears darker than it really is.
Yes, it should.
I applied the Behr acrylic sealer to my pavers and of course there was moisture exposure that caused the white appearance. The sealer has only been on a few days. Will this short time frame make it easier to remove?
Timing does not matter.
our patio has plants around three sides. Will the flushed stripper harm them?
Direct contact may burn some leaves but you should not have any permanent root damage.
can you add a tint to the sealer or is there one which is available pre-mixed?
Which sealer?
Super Seal 25

I stripped my patio yesterday but I’m still smelling the stripper a day later. Is that normal?
It is just an odor and it will go away shortly.
We did sealing last year and used Glaze ‘N Seal 5 Gal. Clear Wet Look Green Concrete and Masonry Lacquer Waterproofer and Sealer. But it got spoiled due to moisture and will Clemons Concrete Concrete and Paver Sealer Stripper work and what else would be needed to compliment it.
Yes, strip it with this and then use the Cleaner Degreaser after: https://www.opwdecks.com/cleaner-degreaser.htm
So these are brick pavers and hence any issues with the coloring after using this product ? Also do you ship to California..
It does not alter color of the Brick.
Thanks and you ship to California ?
Yes.
So the pavers have gone from bad to worse. Hence will the product still work as was about to order it.
Yes they will work, make sure to pressure wash while using the products. You also need an area to rinse all the old sealer and grime that comes off. Your area looks enclosed.
Thanks and sorry am new to this process and when you say “area to rinse all the old sealer and grime”, does it means before deposing the same ?
You need to wash the grime somewhere. Like grass or dirt. You cannot just reclaim it all and dispose of it.
Finally I was able to remove the sealant and now have few stones after few days turning white again.
That looks like efflorescence or some kind of mineral deposits, not old sealer.
Not 100% sure what it is.
Will this stripper remove Eagle brand high gloss, high solids, acrylic sealer.
Yes, it will.
Thank you, one more question. Is the consistency of this stripper like a paste or similar to a sealant?
Thicker like paste.
I have 180sq ft of papers that need stripping 2gal enough?. I’ve used xylene which helped some but not enough
2 Gallons should work.
I want to use this stripper to remove old sealant. After stripping what products do you recommend
After Stripping use the Cleaner Degreaser for final cleaning: https://www.opwdecks.com/cleaner-degreaser.htm
I tried to take the sealer off with your product that strips the sealer. I made one past. Am I on the right path? Will the degreaser help take the white out after a few more passes? When I am successful taking the sealer off in a few More passes, will the white still be around or is the decreaser The One who finishes off the white? I am a rookie so have mercy on me.
Go over it one more time and then use the Cleaner Degreaser last.
I’m using the paver sealer stripper and some areas it comes up easily, but some pavers turn white & it’s very difficult to get it off. Am I not leaving it on long enough or am I leaving it on too long. What PSI pressure washer do you recommend?
3000 PSI and use a turbo tip if you have one.
I put Surebond SB-6400 on my patio but it doesn’t look like I did anything, it’s not hazy or white or yellow. Do I still need to use Clemons Concrete and Paver Sealer Stripper before using Supreme Shield SB-600? Or would I be better off just doing another coat of the Surebond? I’ve looked at so many sealers I’m more confused than ever. I just want a wet look on my new paver patio.
The Clemons Stripper will not work on a siloxane-based sealer like the SB-6400. We are not sure if adding the Supreme Shield SB-600 over top will work to enhance over the SB-6400. You would have to trial and error a test spot.
How are you able to sell this stripper when one of the active ingredients is methylene chloride? The EPA banned methylene chloride as of March 2019
There is no methylene chloride in the formula starting 2019.
What are the main ingredients? When you click the product data link on your page it shows methylene chloride and methanol
That was for the old formula prior to the EPA Changes. We updated the link.
I’m looking to clean up these pavers. Is The Clemons Stripper what I need to do the job?
Not a stripper but one of these products but that will vary based on what actually the stains are. https://www.opwdecks.com/concrete-cleaners.htm?custom_parent_id=1&22brands=Eaco%20Chem
ok its mid July. is this available yet?
thanks
It is not. We are still waiting.
Will this remove surebond sb 8700 sealer from patio pavers? Does it etch as well or do I need to do that after removing the sealer? The patio needs to be stained and sealed as the installer left polymeric haze everywhere and other than ripping it out this seems most viable option. Also when is it back in stock? Thanks
Yes, it will strip it. No, it does not etch it. Hopefully in stock this month.
how much longer till its in stock?
They are saying mid-july now.
how can I pre-order to receive once it is in stock?
Sorry, but we are not taking pre-orders.
Can this be shipped to CA
It cannot.
Last summer we had a guy level, de-weed, re-sand, and seal our pavers driveway. It looked great. A month later it turned white, as in photo. Any suggestions on how we can fix this? Thanks so much.
You would have to strip off the sealer.
Thanks. The person who did the work is telling me that, to do the fix, he would use a “chemical that will melt the sealant to make it like it was when it was installed. It will make the white areas disappear. The white areas are there because the day the sealant was installed it rained at night, and the sealant hadn’t absorbed into the bricks.”
Does any of this make sense or seem logical to you?
Thanks again.
Try that first and see if it works.
