    Concrete under fender bays

    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

    Re: Concrete under fender bays

    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.

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