Cleaning latex from open gravel driveway

My son painted part of my driveway after his school won state championship with latex paint. It is about four months old. I tried cleaning with TSP and Muric acid. It did not clean at all. How and what can I use to clean the paint?

Thank
Sharad

I am afraid to coment on what would work because it may leve a differant color area where you applie it...but if you would call your local paint store and ask them they may sugest something like paint thinner or karosen or opps..to clean it off...

Acids or TSP won't help, nor will kerosene or paint thinner. Denatured alcohol does a good job of cleaning latex paint up, or you can drop some more money and buy Goof Off at your local home improvement store. Try wetting it with denatured alcohol, scrubbing with a stiff brush, and then blast it clean with a pressure washer. You can rent a pressure washer for $40 or so for a few hours.
