Any ideas for removing cement splashes off paint?
As title. Accidently got some on the Mondeo the other night and didn't realise till the next day when it was dry. Tried pressure washing it off, but that didn't really touch it. Anybody any ideas?

I had this shit happen on my RR a good few years ago, what I did was use 50/50(ish) fairy liquid and water and keep it wet for a good while, something like a sponge kept wet and held ontop of it, then just blast it with a pressure washer at close range, for godsake dont rub it at all.
good luck

Maybe tar/glue remover? Give it a good soaking and leave it for abit, then get a power washer or strong jet of water to blast it off. Could help it off by using a credit card to slice under it?

We got stuff from a local cement mixing place for cleaning up a car that had cement splashed up both sides. It reacted with the cement an it fizzed off. Didn't touch the tar that was on it. Can't remember what it was called tho. Could possibly find out and let you know at the start of the wk tho?

I've had to flick it off by hand and maybe a little card poking but it left marks where it has been
Was my work van so didn't really matter but after 3 years the bits I left have fallen off the van somehow but its been in the hands of someone else

I deliver ready mix concrete for a living, we use hydrochloric acid to clean the cement dust and hardened concrete off the wagons, its the only stuff that touches cement, if you get some dilute it really well 1st, wear eye and impervious gloves when handling it, the cement will just fizz off, id use a soft brush apply then rinse off soapy water.
