Concrete Splatter

Anyone ever removed specs of concrete splatter from car/truck paint? I have a few specs of splattered concrete down my 1/4 panel. I have got some off with my fingernail, but would like a better method. Then I could compound/buff it out and make it look like it never was there.

maybe a plastic putty knife? can't think of anything easier to use that won't grind the cement into the paint.

Muratic acid will loosen it up enough that alot of times you can power wash it of. Thats what concrete companies use to wash down trucks. Just make sure you dilute it down some and let it soak for 10 min. Keep away from the fumes and wear glasses and gloves. Also keep it away from bare polished aluminum it will eat the finish off. I You can find it in you local hardware store with the drain cleaners.

whatever you do, don't rub it off... there'll be some nasty scratches left that'll turn you green!! good luck.
