Spray from cement truck

[RumRunner]

So going down the highway a few day ago and a cement truck goes by and sprays some water with cement residue on my truck. Not thinking much of it at the time as it looked like just colored water, I now find that it's dried cement dust. I can razor blade it off the windows, but on the paint I have tried washing and scrubbing it off but when it dries the spots are still there.

So what is the best way to remove this stuff without hurting the paint?

I used degreaser and clay bar...took a while.. But u hear u can use paint thinner if the truck hasnt been painted

Factory paint, just a year old. Just don't want to make a mistake that does any damage.

lacquer thinner wont damage the paint, if you are just wiping the surface with it, i used it to help my friend get his 4x decals off his bran new loaded f250

Vinegar will cut cement dust.

^^^^^ This

Here is an answer I got from autopia, when I ask the question over there.

"Soak a towel(s) in vinegar and apply to the spots. Refresh vinegar if they dry. After 10 minutes spray with a hose and the spot should rinse right off."

Thanks, I will try the vinegar and see how it goes.

Use white vinegar. I work with concrete for a living.
