How to Clean Cement Slurry Stuck on a Car?

Here are the methods to clean cement slurry stuck on a car: Vinegar Rinsing Method: Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it onto the cement on the car body. Wait for a few minutes, and you will notice the cement softening. Then, rinse it off with water. Since white vinegar is only mildly acidic, you may need to spray it multiple times on the cement and rinse with water repeatedly. Cement Cleaner Rinsing Method: Spray cement cleaner onto the cement on the car body and wait for the cement to soften before rinsing it off. Generally, using a cement cleaner also requires polishing, which can be more costly.
Once when I parked near a construction site, my car got splattered with wet cement slurry, which gave me quite a scare. I quickly covered the affected areas with a soaked sponge to soften the cement for about ten minutes, preventing it from hardening. Afterwards, I repeatedly rinsed the spots with clean water. For any remaining residue, I diluted some white vinegar, sprayed it on to soak for a while, then gently wiped with a soft cloth until clean—being careful not to scrub too hard to avoid scratching the paint. Remember to dry the car thoroughly after rinsing to prevent water spots. Such issues require prompt action, as dried cement becomes much harder to remove. That experience taught me a lesson—now I always avoid parking near construction zones and regularly inspect my car. Prevention is always better than costly repairs, and simple daily habits can save significant maintenance expenses.
