Removing concrete (?) off truck.

It looks like paint, or sprayed plaster, but it has a consistency/feel of concrete.

Went to the truck wash - high pressure water didn't touch it, nor did their 'acid'.

I drove through some tight construction on bridges that were being repaired on I-79 in WV , which is my only guess as to where I picked it up.

The stacks are chrome, and the side steps are aluminum. There is a little on the paint, and some on the stainless hood drop panel.

If ANYONE has ANY suggestion on what might be used to dissolve or remove, I'm all ears.

I thought about asking a cement plant for ideas, they surely run into this. I thought about muriatic acid.

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

Gee thanks Mr. Optimism !

Note that it has that 'orange peel' look , and the splatter seems to me like it's paint - but it's gritty like cement. Weird.

 

I thought about that - but no, doesn’t have any reflective properties like road paint.

The applied ‘look’ resembles paint or plaster. But rock hard.

I wondered if they apply a sealer/paint/resin to finish concrete on bridge decks. It’s white as snow.

 

Yes - that's it, the consistency of rhino liner.

I thought I could sand it off the aluminum step, and have a polish guy sand and buff.

But the chrome stacks and stainless - that's going to look pretty bad.
