Removing Paint On Concrete: Three Possible Remover Brands - Opinions On, Please ?

| Hello:
Have some very old paint on my concrete foundation that I would
like to remove. Not sure if oil or latex.
Peel A way was recommended.
I also see that there are other, possibly similar, products such as:
Ready-Strip
and, Nitromors Superstrip
Anyone have any thoughts on these three ?
Very concerned about leaving a stain behind on the concrete after using from
the product itself.
Which would be least likely to ?
Thanks,
Bob

I would try a pressure washer first.
If the pressure washer removes the stain you will still be able to see it
for some time. Concrete under the paint will not be as dark due to the sun.

| Peel Away might do the trick if you get the caustic based material. You
do not want to dissolve the paint and carry it further into the concrete.
The product might lighten the concrete since it is caustic. Try it out in
an inconspicuous place first.
As already suggested, the best idea is a pressure washer.
Good Luck.
