Methods for removing cement from a car include: 1. Rinse off the cement stains directly with clean water before they harden; 2. Spray white vinegar or a specialized cement cleaner onto the cement stains, wait for them to soften, and then rinse off with clean water; 3. Pour gasoline onto the stains, wait for the car paint to soften, and then wash off the cement stains with water. Methods for maintaining car paint include: 1. Wash the car only after the engine has cooled down; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Clean stains on the car body promptly; 4. Rinse the car with clean water after rain to prevent acid rain corrosion; 5. Apply wax or glaze to the car.
Last time I washed my car, I noticed some cement stuck on the hood, which was quite annoying. I tried soaking a towel in water and placing it over the cement for half an hour to soften it. If it didn't soften, I sprayed some white vinegar or household cleaner on it and waited a bit longer, as vinegar can dissolve cement. Then, I gently scraped it off with a plastic scraper—never use metal tools as they can scratch the paint. After removing it, I rinsed the area with clean water, dried it, and applied some wax to protect the paint. If the cement has dried and hardened, it becomes more troublesome and requires more time to soften, so it's best to deal with it as soon as you notice it. When parking, pay attention to the surroundings and avoid construction areas or freshly paved roads to prevent this from happening. This method works well, but it requires patience—take your time and avoid pulling too hard to prevent damaging the car.
