Damned concrete trucks. Half the front and hood of my car is sprayed with concrete.

It happened last weeks Thursday (at 1.30 pm) leaving a red light as the third car.
I didn't see the concrete on the road at all, but did hear a patter on the right hand side.
Well ok, I thought, it’s only sand.

But today, a week later, when I had my car washed the guys told me that there is some debris in the front that don’t come off.
The guys said, that they will not take responsibility for scraping it off.

For two hours I have tried to clean it with solvents, Fairy and car wax, but it seems that the damned concrete
has merged in to the paint.

Can anyone help?

Did you try using claybar? If that doenst work I dont know what else... maybe you might have to take it to a professonal detailer.

I'd say clay bar too...but you're gonna need a few of them.

Maybe a mild acid like lemon juice could possibly loosen it up? Just wax it after!!!

I'd try power-washer. Be careful and start low with a small area. GL

Man that looks like shit. If that were my car, I'd get some professional advice before doing anything that would scratch the finish. Good luck.

Thanks all.

Did use my nails to softly remove the hundreds of small solid parts.

My wash guys will get it from here. If they can't cope with it, it must be painted!

But I will go after the truck! :devil: I got some leads already...

I'm so pissed! :mad:
