I just noticed that I have some dried concrete splatter on the rocker panels on my bronco.Any suggestions on how to remove them.I read somewhere to spray some WD40 on them for a few days and try spraying with the garden hose .?????????

That's a tough one. Anything strong enough to take off the concrete would also remove the paint. Yes, I would try WD-40 first. It might penetrate into the concrete and break it loose from the paint.

If that dosen't work, you could try gently scraping most of the concrete off with a putty knife, then using a polishing compound on what's left.......

Good luck, I got some on my old Jeep that I ended up leaving on because it was pulling off the paint.

If you do find a way let us all know.

Don't know if it will help, but check out this site - look for "Cement on Paint".
