i used my fingernails to chip it off until i could get it to the stage where it was paintwork

although i did claim off the insurance form the cement lorry that had splattered it all down the side so it got repainted

You could try a product called Autosmart Congo, it's a dedicated concrete and cement remover.

Here you go, of you find your local rep he'll have it.

When I got cement on mine I used a brick cleaner from Wickes. Allow it to soak for a minute then use a small craft paint brush and gently brush over the covered area. Make sure to wash off as quickly as possible.
