Hello,
My friend spilled some purple primer on a New Garage floor... the Super wanted it removed.. has anyone used any good chemicals to remove this? We ended up using a power washer .... this did some of the job... scraped a little bit as well with a large razer..
Thank You Guys!

Eeks. Your problem is compounded on two levels: The primer was allowed to dry, AND it's into porous concrete. The only way I know to deal with a purple primer spill is to use PVC cleaner ASAP before it dries, on painted or tile surfaces. You may be SOL.
Never dealt with your issue. Wild guess here: soak in PVC cleaner and pressure wash; if that doesn't work, use muratic acid (follow directions) and pressure wash. Trouble is, by the time you etch/blast the concrete enough to get the purple out, what's left will be a diffrent shade or even worse, a crater or depression in the concrete.
Is there any epoxy finish or concrete sealer on the existing floor?

Contact the manufacturer. If you can re-suspend the solids, you may be able to suck most of it out of the concrete
