How to remove road debris?

**DesertRat** · 05-05-2009, 04:34 PM

I have road debris that splash on the driver side fender, looks like some kind of chemical that i probably pick out while driving truh a road construction zone.

I try to clean it a few time with no effect what so ever, this staff is hard as cement

Please help me out here guys, any ideas how to remove this. Thanks

it probably is cement. or they laid down lime, and you splashed some water up, they mixed, that basically makes concrete.

i have no idea how to get it off

maybe try soaking it in some bug and tar and let it sit then try to get it off? or you might try a clay bar thats what id try

it was Turtle Wax brand that i pick't at autozone. any more ideas guys?

Sue the city for neglect and have it fixed on their dime.

That's completely sucks!!!

I was hoping i could fix it myself but if threes no product that i can buy off the shelf to remove this staff I'll have to stop by a body shop.

Try WD40

If it's cement, that's going to be tough, no pun intended
The only thing that may help is like a plastic spatula, and lots of water to carefully chip to away as much as you can before you can try buffing the rest off.

Water and more water.... then use what Y2K said to use!
Cement on a smooth surface, water water and then his stuff!

Buffing is a bad plan!

I suggest simple green and a pressure washer and a good buff/wax afterwards

Yep that looks like the tool for the job, Thanks!!!

Thanks everyone, I'm going to order this product and hope that will do the job. Will post pic's before and after. And one more thing: whenever you drive thru construction zone be extra careful as some of dose contractors care less about damaging our beloved cars with the staff they spill on road
