Use q tip
[QUOTE=tjl5709;1568575937]You would be surprised the testing that goes on to develope automotive clears.
The 2K clear we have on our cars is about as good as they get. We might not like it's appearance (orange peel, scratch/marring), but from a chemical resistance standpoint, their very tuff.
The diluted muriatic acid is going to be better than trying to rub it out with compound or a bar. Your going to grind the grit in.
Let the acid break it down, then rinse it away. Once the grit is gone, then you can bring the finish back with the usual aids.
Again, do it in the shade (cool garage is best), apply it to the specks via a q-tip, don't allow it to dry out.
Don't use more muratic acid than you have to and use the Q tip to apply diluted acid directly to the concrete. Like you were applying touch up paint.
It may take a couple of applications but the cement will break down and then you can rinse it off with a hose. Don't wipe the area at all with anything if there is even a trace of the cement remaining.

Berry1- I work for a concrete company and we have a product that is called Sandstorm,that we spray directly onto the concrete on the truck and leave it on overnight.It contains no muratic acid but more of a sugar derivative that does not hurt the paint .When you come back to it the next day the sandstorm will have most of it turned to a soft gel and you simply just spray it off.You may have to do a few applications to get it all depending on how big of an area you have on your car. You may want to wax that area good when you finish getting it cleaned off.
Call some of your local concrete companies and ask if they have any they can give you..Tell them it splattered on it while they were pouring at your house and im sure they will give it to you!
Hope it turns out well for ya!

Here is another product that can be purchased in an aerosol can.

The liquid hammer is basically the same thing as the Sandstorm other than it comes in a aerosol can and the sandstorm comes to us at work in 50 Gallon drums. It works great on getting the Concrete off!!

Professionally i would recommend 1 to 3 muriatic acid. Spray let set 1 minute .Flush with water and repeat. Continue until gone. Have done this many times on vehicles. Power buff with clearcoat and finish with meguiars clearcoat polish then 2.0 wax

Can anyone help?
I've gotten cement/plaster splatter all over the car. Is there any way to somehow dissolve this splatter with something or soften it up or do I have to attack each location with a soft piece of wood and scrape it off with the possibility of leaving small scratches?
Your thoughts appreciated.

Happened to my 350Z a few years ago. The company that caused it paid for a professional to remove the overspray, clay bar and completely detail the car. I suggest you do the same. I asked him how much would it have cost me to do the repair and he said it was a near $200 job. He worked on the car for 6 hours.

if it's just cement, you should be able to just brush/blow/wash it off, as all it is is a powder. If you meant CONCRETE splatter, that's a different animal and will require more attention.

Clay bar was after whatever chemical was used to remove the droplettes. They made sure the finish was smooth as glass.
