How to get concrete off a car.
My neighbours are having an extension done and my parents cars have this concrete type over them, my parents have taken their cars along the car wash and though it seems to have got the cars cleaner this stuff is still on it, has anybody got any ideas on how to get the cars clean:question:
Thanks.

Happened to me not so long since, Got advice from Toyota that only time and lots of warm soapy water, and more and more soapy water. I wasnt capable of carrying out his out physically so ended up taking it to a body shop to have it done and recharged the idiot who hadnt washed his mixer load of his wagon and poured it all over my car going round a bend. Dont rub it though, it will scratch your paintworkmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

I wonder having got most of it off whether a tar remover would help in anyway.
Perhaps a clay bar would help if it is residue, but that is an expensive solution!0 -
I've used a blade and some running water in the past. Slightly bend the blade so it doesnt dig into the paint and use your thumb or finger as a guide.0

Vinegar.
Seriously, alkaline cement will be acted upon by acidic vinegar, which is weak enough not to damage your paintwork. Wash with plenty of water afterwards.0 -
Advise your neighbors/builders. Show them the "damage" and say you'll be having it removed professionally and will send them the invoice...0

Please do not use a blade even if you have a steady hand its very easy to slip
try tar and glue remover or t cut0 -
Some good advice and some not so good. Wet the car and keep it wet for a number of hours,then attempt to clean it of with a lowish power pressure washer. Whatever you do at this stage do not rub at the cement until all traces of sand have been removed. But act quickly, the alkaline mix will eat into paint or laquer as surely as acid, or a blackbird on a blackberry diet.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
