I was thinking a chisel ... seriously ! Once it has dried, it must be a bugger to remove. Soap and water usually remove while wet.

Concrete Spots:
Calcified water spots on paint and glass, water and concrete spots are pretty much the same chemically; calcium carbonate, with the concrete being cross-linked with water

Removal

• Apply 1:1 ratio water with distilled White Vinegar solution, and using a spray bottle, spray that mixture on the spots and let them "soak." Then rinse with water and repeat as necessary.
• If the ambient temperature water/vinegar mix does not work, warm (100-120 degrees) 100% distilld White Vinegar, saturate a clean kitchen sponge with pure vinegar and hold the sponge over the concrete spots for a few minutes
• If the above do not remove them try equal parts distilled water, isopropyl alcohol and distilled white vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will help etch and dissolve the concrete.
• Rinse the area thoroughly with water after the vinegar and then reapply wax or sealant to that area.

a) To remove concrete that has set use the A B C Decontamination / Neutralization system (http:// www.) a safe alkaline wash and neutralizing system the ABC wash apparently loosens the bond with the clear coat, after using the wash simply lift off any concrete with a plastic razor, for smaller specks use detailers clay, any subsequent etching will require an abrasive to level the paint surface, and then reapply wax or sealant to that area.

b) Back-Set by Romix is an acid alternative with no fumes or odours, molecularly breaks down the ionic bond in Portland cement, completely dissolving and releasing the hardened cement from any surface it is adhered to. Always apply Back-Set to a dry surface area-http://www.

Extreme remedy! after you try everything else...
This may be hard to swallow, but I recently had picked up some epoxy splatters from the road. That stuff is like iron, to finally remove after trying everything I could imagine, I had to wet the area with soap water and take a brand new single edge razor blade "yikes" and then proceed to angle the blade perfectly and lift off from underneath the epoxy. It took some real patients. It was all I could do, - after I was done, I buffed everything out and I can't tell I ever had a problem.
