hey guys, since I have owned my surf, it has had some dried cement on the underside of the drivers door from the previous owner driving through it at some stage. Was wondering if anyone has any methods of removing it without damaging the paint underneath. I don't want it shiny and show car spec as it is a bush hack fourby but still would like to get rid of it


cheers

I've never actually used this, but when I showed someone from R31 club this link they bought some, used it and had good results:

How much is there? If it's just individual specks then you can try a claybar too. It worked to remove some 2 pack epoxy paint I had on there once in the same location.

There is a fair bit. its been whipped up by the muddies all down the underside of the door.

Can't remember what it's called but call a hire company (that hires out cement mixers) & see what they use.

Have heard of Diesel for cleaning off bitumen/tar but never cement? Can't hurt to try tho??

I had it on my VS ute - had my ute on front lawn while fencers put up new colourbond fence

Fucktards set up mixer right next to ute

I get home from work, see ute, flip out when I worked out what the dicks had done(they had finished and left)

sprayed WD40 on it and left it for 5mins

Most of it wipes off easily then, the rest, I just repeated once more and all done!!
