Concrete under fender bays

[HateSwirls]

Hellos fellow Geekers,

Most of you know I own a detail shop , I need help on a truck that will be coming in on Thursday.
The owner of the truck traveled down a road that was under construction and now has "Concrete " under fenders and on wheels.

Question is what would be the best method to remove it?
Is there something I can buy that will make it easier to remove.
It's not like and can chip away at it, more so on his wheels.

Thanks,
Kevin

Pressure washer would be my first line of attack. Going to have to see it though. Plastic fender liners concrete really won't adhere to in such a way that it won't come off, but the bigger challenge isn't where it's thick, it's where it's thin. I'm thinking it's going to be a wheels off detail with heavy use of a pressure washer personally.

Add a steam cleaner and a tornador to your arsenal as well.
I had a similar problem, and I used everything I had, including a plastic knife.
It'll be a tedious job for sure.
All the best

Thanks for the advice.

I have a pressure washer, and other tools listed here.
I'll give it a go.

Yes, the wheels must come off.

Sugar water. Sounds goofy but i swear it works. Another geeker gave me that tip and I made alot of money from it

I'll have to give it a try, plenty of sugar in my shop as I love coffee.
How do you dilute it ?

I poured like a 4 pound sugar bag into bucket then kept adding water until it was like a thick syrup. Then I allied to concrete and the concrete melted away. Don't know exact dilution

Interesting, never would have thought sugar in solution was corrosive to concrete. Back Set seems to be a sugar, some surfactant, and detergent.

If you go the straight sugar route, you may want to heat it up or use hot water. I would think undissolved sugar crystals could be abrasive.

Sugar water. Very interesting, and good to know. Have to stow that one away in the bag of tricks, providing it works. Let us know how things turn out. Good luck.

Peace,
