Concrete splatter removal?

So... I just got my car washed only to find out that I have concrete splatter all over the car. I've looked around a bit for a way to remove it without ruining the paing for good and the closest thing to a safe removal involves vinegar and a spoon! I'm a bit sceptic about the aftermath of that method so did anyone try it or has another way that worked well? My car is black and I would enjoy a lot not having to repaint it just because I drove by some roadwork

there should be a clear coat on the car, just use warm water and a light rub with a soft
cloth. See if that works.

So is it like actual buts of concrete or just concrete residue?

If there's any actual concrete on the car, I would say pressure wash it off. If it's just residue, then I would try clay bar. If that doesn't work try machine polishing.

I would be very hesitant about using anything to "rub" it out, the sand in the concrete will scratch the paint pretty badly. Usually I use a trowel to take concrete off of paint, but that's also on a concrete pump. I imagine a plastic scraper would work but again not sure what that would do to the paint.

I'll look into the back set thing seems like a better alternative than what I 've see un till now. It's just residue but I wouldn't even try clay or machine polish, it would be like throwing sand on the polisher and then use it on the car... I will have to wait for a while before I can try it since it's too cold to use the product, it would just freeze on. I'll give you feedback once I tried it out.
