Concrete Blotches

Featured Replies

As stated builders concreting near me yesterday back spoiler and parts of roof covered in blotches will it need a repaint size of 5p pieces. Car black magic looks terrible. As i work nights did not notice till today.

I would also invoice the builders!!

Good find

As said...I would show the builder the result of their 'building' before you do anything

Tell them that you will be buying a product to remove it and tell them they will be receiving the invoice

I would also take pictures, in case you need to take it further.

I would love to show builders as the car is not parked near my house, i live down a lane did not know who did it till i washed vehicle this morning thought it was just dusty.

 

Does the said product leave any markes as may try before i see some painters and there views and  opinions.

I cant answer that..never used it

But if you give AutoSmart a ring they should be able to tell you

Shouldn't think it leaves any marks if used correctly:

Okey Dokey thank you for all your help and comments its much appreciated. 

Working in a cement factory, Congo may be perfect for myself!! Thank you BTS

My Dad used to have a concrete mixer, once a week it would be washed with acid to remove the concrete, would wonder wheels dissolve the concrete marks? I guess it would be ok on the paint as it does not damage lacquered alloy wheels. 

 A good rinse and re apply wax might work.

Interesting thought. But I wouldn't use Wonder Wheels on paintwork.

Any news on this as I would be gutted if I got concrete on my paint work :(

I work at bus company tried some strong degreaser, cleared most of it up rear spoiler is the worst, as paint was already chipping will get that repainted.

 

I will  purchase some of the cleaner chris recommended for any future mishaps, and would like to thank you all for your help.

Good news Kidology. :)

I used wonder wheels once on a 2011 vw transporter. I never left it on for long as it started desolving the cement very quickly. I used a soft paint brush to move the cement of the panel, then gave it a very good wash down with cold water then a very good polish. There was no damage that I could see or a year later when the van was sold. Do I think this was a good idea, NO, with the water based paints on cars now I think I could go wrong very easily.
