How would i go about cleaning off dried cement/motor mix from the wheel wells of my car? it might even be paint. is there some kind of soap that well get rid of it?

You could try a clay bar.

its on the bottom part of the doors on both sides too .. what kind of clay bar ?

Oh, I thought i read wheels, not wheel wells. I would probably take them out and spray them with aircraft stripper and wait a while then hit them with a stiff brush and hose em down. About the paint on the doors, I would try the paint thinner idea or go to the detailing section at a auto parts store and get a mothers clay bar and try that.

Yeah I think a wire brush should knock that crap off.... now on the side skirts you're going to have to be a little more intuitive to not damage the paint. I don't have any suggestions there.

Try wd40 on the doors. I've used it before for taking off caked on road derbis, like tar and marker line paint. You could try rubbing down your wheel wells with regular motor oil. Let it sit for awhile and wipe it off. Otherwise steel brush, a putty knife / scraper should do the trick.

First, what actually is the material? Is it concrete, tar, or what the hell? What is "motor mix"?WTF
Second, where is it? If it's concrete on the plastic wheel well liners, it'll mostly flake off. If it's tar on paint, there are products (called...... wait for it..... Tar Remover) made for cleaning it off paint. If it's buildup or splash residue on the wheels, other methods will be needed.

Accurate questions get accurate answers. Random posts get dumped.

i meant mortor mix

it looks a lot like white marker paint. its all over in the wheel wells and bottom half of the driver & passenger side doors.

Ah. Mortar. It's a tough language for the natives.
If it's on the plastic parts, gentle tapping should flake it off. A decent wax job would have kept it from staying in the first place. If it's on the paint, you will probably lose the paint under it, or the paint around it from trying to remove it.
Hire a detail shop to clean it off. It won't be their first time.
