Was it the Childs Street or Saxton Street overpass on 490? I cross under Saxton twice per day and have had those worries.

distilled vinegar, used it on my car 3 weeks ago on the cement spots, took it right off.

its not on my car, a past customer of mine called me up and asked me and i told her i would find out. i think it was that overpast you are talking about scott P.



so distilled vinegar will work? i think she said it was pretty hard

Whiter vinegar and a huge sponge, let the sponge sit and soak the cement for 30 seconds then wipe off - David B

Just have to love the drippage off the bridges around Rochester. Drippage is not the only thing you have to watch for flying off the bridges on this stretch of expressway.

You may think Im nuts, but we use a mixture of diesel and motor oil to clean forms....The motor oil allows better penetration of the diesel, and makes it last longer. You would be ok with just diesel fuel....Just spray on and let it sit for a while, the oils in the diesel will soften the cement up...If the cement turns dark in color after spraying, you know the oils are getting in it.....

The Volvo was hit with cement on a site visit and the civil contractor suggested motor oil, as thats what they use for cleaning concrete forms......it works



Hope this helps
