Spray hardened concrete with the solvent until it is saturated. You will see the cement turn white, and then darken. If the cement stays white, spray again until thoroughly saturated.

Step 2

Allow the solution to set for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

Soak through again with Speedy-Clean, and the cement will begin to soften.

Step 4

After 20 to 30 minutes, wipe softened the cement off of the car with the chamois or cloth, and rinse the surface clean with water.

The Back-Set Method

Step 4
