How to Remove Cement Stains from a Car?
2 Answers
There are several methods to remove cement stains from a car: 1. If the cement has been on for less than 12 hours, first wet and soak it with water, then use car wash soap and a towel to clean it slowly. Although this method is slow, the cleaning effect is excellent. 2. If the cement has been on for more than 12 hours, it will have hardened. You can buy some acidic solution from a pharmacy, apply it to the cement with a brush, and the cement will dissolve in the acidic liquid. Then, rinse it off with water. 3. Spray white vinegar on the cement with a spray bottle, wait for 3-5 minutes, and gently scrape it off with a hard card. Afterward, wash the area where the vinegar was applied with car wash soap again.
Last time my car was parked near a construction site and got splashed with cement, which almost drove me crazy. I quickly poured water from a bucket in the car onto the cement to soften it, as dried cement would be harder to remove. Then, I sprayed a mixture of white vinegar and water onto the area and waited a few minutes for it to break down the cement. After that, I gently wiped it off with a soft towel, avoiding the use of a scraper to prevent damaging the paint. Finally, I rinsed it off and applied wax for protection. Remember, the whole process needs to be done quickly, preferably while the cement is still wet. It's best to park far away from construction sites to prevent this from happening. I've handled this situation several times this way, saving money on car wash expenses and keeping the car's shine intact.
