How can I get clear concrete sealant off of my car?

There were construction guys working outside of my work and get clear concrete sealant all over my car. I went through the car wash, but nothing came off.


It looks like a clear mist is all over it - the windshield, hood, etc.


Any suggestions?How can I get clear concrete sealant off of my car?
The best thing you can do is get the name of the construction company and inform them of the damage to your car. They are responsible for any over spray that landed on your car as well as anyone Else's. The best way to get it off, honestly, is a new paint job. Or take it to an auto body specialist and hope they can buff it out. But concrete sealant is next to impossible to get off of paint. Especially if it's clear coat. I would go for the free paint job from the construction company if I was you. And as for the windshield! If it was corrosive, and pitted the glass. They would be responsible for that as well. It's a driving hazard and will need to be replaced.How can I get clear concrete sealant off of my car?
Get some lacquer thinner from Wal-mart and try it on the windshield 1st and see if it removes it, if it does then do a small portion on the paint somewhere and try it. Lacquer thinner will usually not hurt your paint job but do not soak the soft rag and do not try doing LARGE areas and do not put alot of pressure on the soft rag as you can damage the paint with to many applications. Apply car wax to cleaned area when all the contaminant has been removed. If you are not comfortable with this DuPont makes a Tar and Bug remover you could try, get it at any auto parts store. If that still does not work complain to the construction supervisor as they are legally liable for the damage because they did not Take due precautions during application of the sealant.
