What to Do If Cement Accidentally Gets on the Car?
1 Answers
If cement splashes onto the car and it hasn't been more than 12 hours, the best treatment is to first wet and soak it with water, then use car wash soap and a towel to slowly clean it off. If the cement has been on the car for more than 12 hours, it will have hardened by then. You can purchase some acidic solution from a pharmacy, dip a brush in it, and apply it to the cement. The acidic liquid will dissolve the cement, which can then be rinsed off with water. Below are the hazards of not washing the car for a long time: 1. Increases fuel consumption: Dust or debris falling onto the car can accumulate over time, adding extra weight to the vehicle. Additionally, dust may enter various systems inside the car, leading to increased fuel consumption. 2. Damages the car paint: Rain can carry oils from the dust onto the car paint, forming a layer of grime. Over time, this grime can cause internal damage to the paint. Moreover, in some industrial areas, rainwater is highly acidic. These acid rains adhering to the car can lead to paint oxidation and corrosion over time. 3. Increases car maintenance costs: Washing the car every two weeks or once a month helps protect the paint and keeps the car looking good. Long-term neglect of washing can damage the paint, and repairing it will cost significantly more.
