Battery acid stained concrete

Many years of servicing, and replacing golf cart batteries, has left a very large area of concrete, heavily stained by battery acid. I have tried many different compounds and cleaning solutions, to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks!

My guess is that the top of the concrete has been eaten by the acid and stray dirt and oil have become embedded in the very rough surface. Try a high pressure water spray, if you can and then paint it with a cement paint or a poly urethane.
