    Concrete Splatter Help!!

    Need some major help. I have some concrete splatter on my 1/4 panel of my new truck. Its just little specs of concrete, but it is definitely dried up on there.

    Any suggestions on how I could remove this? I have actually been able to slowly chip away with a fingernail, but would really like an alternative method. I dabbed some goof off on some spots and it didnt do anything.

    Would a heavy compound and buffer do the trick? or would that scratch the paint?

    Is muriatic acid okay on car paint?

    Re: Concrete Splatter Help!!

    Acid is definitely the way to go but muriatic is not needed. Try vinegar first. Give it some time to dwell and don`t scrub. If that isn`t getting it you can step up to an acid base wheel cleaner like Four Star ACC Aluminum & Chrome Cleaner. Dwell time is the key but don`t let it dry on the surface. The acid will dissolve the concrete. After you get the concrete off, give the car a good wash to nuetralize any remaining acid.

    yeah, what he said --^ however, you might wanna picking off as much as posible first.

    You might also try using clay (after it`s picked off).
