how to remove concrete

[stilltipping3]

Any1 know how to get concrete off of paint and rims on a f150? I got a guy that needs a detail n thats what his problem is.

[cplchris]

cured globs on concrete? or residue/staining from concrete being splashed onto the paint and rinsed off before it cured?

You can use liquid hammer made for concrete removal. We use Barracuda Truck Wash at work and it does the job, with no damage to the paint. I think liquid hammer is available in a spray can.

Thanks, where can I buy that stuff

I remember a thread on this and the OP was very successful with a product that I forgot the name of. Let me look.

[KillaCam]

The product is called back set.

All these products are essentially the same for what its worth.

For what it is worth, a fellow detailer over here in South Africa told me he once used diesel - let it soak in for a while and then removed using a plastic razor and polished out the minor marring the process caused.

Not sure if it is necessarily the right or safest way, but I am just putting it out there nonetheless.

I was told something along these lines. Its mostly the aluminum rims that are caked with it. speckles on the paint here and there.

I go to Google, and type in just about any detailing related question and add my name and in most cases, an article pulls. up.

And the first link that appears goes to a thread and in post #5 is the actual link to the actual article on using Back Set.

Always seems the Google search ability for topical threads on our forum works as good or better than the forum search button.

I always use google and just type in "autogeek" with whatever it am searching for and it hasn't failed me yet. Seems to work better than the forum search because that just looks for key words.
