Remove Cement From Paint

Yep...you read that right.

Drove by a construction site pouring cement yesterday in my sales battle-mobile (Altima). Apparently it splashed on the car, I saw it last night, it looked like bird crepes, just went out to clean it off before leaving...it's hard as a rock

Suggestions...

That is going to be tough. I would try some WD-40 first. It certainly will not dissolve the concrete but it might wick down and loosen the bond. Let us know what works!

It won't bond very strongly to the paint. Lots of water (to flush off any loosened particles) and a semi-stiff brush ought to take care of it.

Remove Cement From Paint

I'd be interested to know if it worked out. I have the same problem caused by small splatter from a travelling cement truck.
The deposits have been on the car for a few years and I have been unable to get the cement off the paint.
Hoping you find something that works.

White vinegar. Put a band-aid over the cement so it doesn't run off or dry up. Takes a while. Also, and I haven't heard this anywhere, you might try some reg Coke.

Like Zeke says, white vinegar. Cement is alkali and acidic acid (vinegar) neutralizes it. Yo get cement out of clothing it's the best stuff.
