Brick acid is available at most builders merchants. Wear eye protection when using it.

No you need degreaser on oil, when you use acid you need to wet the area first then wash off when the fizzing stops and repeat if needed

wet it all then cover in acid and allow to dwell then try the turbo and repeat as required but you must remember the blocks are concrete also so you will remove the fines from the surface to show the larger stones below, there will be a compromise but it sounds like the customer will live with that but you must qualify them in writing before you start. use a watering can with a rose and a plastic broom to apply
