WD-40 is not specifically designed for removing paint from concrete and may not be very effective for that purpose. While it can help loosen some types of paint due to its lubricating properties, other methods like using a paint stripper or pressure washing are generally more effective for paint removal. Additionally, WD-40 can leave an oily residue, which may require further cleaning. For best results, consider using products specifically formulated for paint removal.

It depends on whether it is a water (latex) based paint or a oil based paint. If it is oil based paint it may not come out, but if it is a water (latex) based paint use 'Goof Off' or other latex paint removers with a wire brush. I have used 'Muriatic acid' on some concrete appications.

WD40. The oil breaks down the glue and won't damage the chrome. WD40 did not work for me. I used a hair dryer, my thumb nail, and about 2 minutes. It came off cleanly and quickly.

Hi, I would try WD40 first if that fails to work then try a product called "OOPS" you can buy it at most hardware stores or department stores. I got mine at Wal-Mart in the paint department. I've used it to remove glue residue from my car left by stickers. Be careful, OOPS will take paint right off, do not use on painted surfaces.
