Right, bleach + pressure wash was no help. You can see in the pic one spot where the pressure wash just ripped the face off one of the bricks.

Just paint over the fucking thing, it's probably absorbed deep inside the brick. Put a girdle around the bottom 1/3rd of your house.

You can take the surface layer off of brick with Muriatic acid, which can be bought at concrete suppliers and probably home depot. Follow the instructions!

This, its what masons use to wash off morter that gets on the brick face after pointing and laying brick, grab a stiff bristle brush while you are buying the acid too.

Brick is porous. Once it absorbs deep enough in, the acid won't be much help.

Tried acid washing rust off of a concrete breeze way. Got a little heavy handed at one point with the Muriatic acid, and exposed the aggregate. The stain is still present.

Possibly. I mean, it's worth a shot. Half of those bricks look like shit anyways. The worst is that you'll end up matching the rest of them.

I think you've got it reversed, bub. Looks to me like the bottom of the wall is the natural iron oxide color of red brick where the white shit on the rest of the wall has washed away. Power wash the whiter bricks and prove me wrong.

looks to me like the white covering faded away. Get some white cement or masonry paint and touch up the red brick and the top ones too. They look shitty and faded. It'll make the entire house look much better and would be worth the investment.

I would get on /r/SouthCarolina
and ask. Red clay is all over the place there. Might get some good ideas. Especially since the recent flooding.

I would Whitewash it with calsomine, even with strong and harsh weather you just need to renew it every 3-5 years. It´s an natural product and quite easy to use.

its too bad you cant make the rest of the brick as red as the bottom. i actually like the bottom better than the top

I don't think those are real bricks. Look at the red under the white up top and the concrete color under the red down below. You should probably just paint it. If you keep fucking with it you'll end up ripping off more of the fake brick surface.
