Help - does anyone know how to remove this from block paving please?

It's supposed to be a clear sealer but it has been applied to pink and grey block paving and it's made them a darker colour (almost look red now) and also there are patches in a lot of places. Imagine when you spill grease or oil and it soaks into the surface of the brick , it looks a bit like that.
Have been told to contact manufacturer but can't even find any contact details for them on the internet.:(
The only suggestion so far was to use brick acid but a bit worried about wrecking the bricks - also has been power washed twice now to try and remove it - will repeated washing cause damage? It looks like it has taken some of the residue off it but it's still not right.
Thanks in advance.

Think you will have to wait for it to naturally wear off. It may take ages but its the only way0

oh dear, but thanks Jen - hopefully it's not totally permanent then

It washes off given time0

Most of these products are very similar and have a 5 to 10 year effective life - maybe another coat might be the way to go .0
