Some motor factors will sell battery acid over the counter.
Use gloves and safety glasses as you don't get a second chance.
Apply with a paint brush to a small test area. Leave as long as possible and agitate with a wire brush until you see results, pressure wash off.
You may find that the treated ares will be a different shade than the rest of the drive.
Dispose of the acid carefully and do not leave in a unmarked or indeed any container.
Paint remover (the gel type) may also do the trick
