Try Cementone mortar and brick cleaner, Its a strong acid that foams up and dissolves cement, beware when using!!
Buy from Jewson's, Travis Perkins etc for around £ 10

You should washed with a jet wash , but first you should apply some brick cleaner, leave it for a bit then use a jet wash and it should look as good as new.

There are chemical removal agents available from most builders merchants (disclean for example) which are simple to use and should clear these marks

Hi
You can buy a proprietory brick cleaner from builders merchants. Be careful as it is hydrochloric acid based. rubber gloves and goggles will do the trick. Use a stiff brush to apply the liquid and wash off with plenty of water.
