When I bought my truck it had cement-splatters on the sills..a quick search on Google revealed that good old vinegar applied & allowed to soak in will break down the cement. Yes it did..
Well having still got some left in my 'squirty bottle' I proceeded to coat the back wheel of my m/cycle prior to cleaning off all the chain-lube that had been flung.
Lordy-lordy..the vinegar worked a treat..15mins later Scotch-brite & soapy water had all the oil/lube off my (white) wheel.
Also good for tar-spots on your car's sills.
Squirty bottle was 29B, & vinegar about 18B from Tesco Express..worthy investment me thinx

Looks like you can use vinegar for a myriad of applications. The one that I like most is
"Stop a dog from barking with a spray bottle filled with equal amounts of water and white distilled vinegar. When the dog barks, spray the vinegar water in its direction but not in the face"
Now, where can I hire one of those flower bed watering trucks and get 2,000 liters of cheap vinegar to do my bit to stop those soi dogs barking at all hours??

As I have mentioned in past posts wife uses vinegar for cleaning many things. Removing mould and steralising work surfaces.
Better than Windex for cleaning glass when used with old newspaper.
I have used coke in the past when cleaning a heavy gauge twisted copper cable on my old trucks starter, prior to soldering. It had the black death but after 10 mins soaking came up bright a shiny. Think what it does to your innards.
Soak a clogged shower head in a vinegar and water solution in a bucket or pan for a couple of hours and all the holes will open and start spraying like when it was new.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Do let me know if you find out. I shall gladly do the spraying if you drive the truck. Perhaps we could add a neutering agent to the vinegar.
