Question Limestone specs on paint

When I bought my 00 Dime, the previous owner had driven on a roadbed of wet limestone, like what is put down before a road is blacktopped or paved. The rocker panels have that limestone splashed on them and the stuff is just like concrete. I have tried numerous abrasives, polishes, cleaners, gas, tar remover, etc. and it doesn't budge. Got any GOOD ideas on how to get this stuff off? Thanx,

Re: Limestone specs on paint

Have you tried vinegar? It might work considering how basic limestone is...

I have not tried the vinegar, but will. Will wetsand paper scratch or dull the paint? What about a claybar? I am not familiar with that but see it mentioned often for removing stuff off paint. I tried my fingernail...only broke my nail.
