Removing Conc From New Asphalt Driveway

Does anyone have a trick to remove dried cement from a new (8 month old) asphalt driveway? My guy spilled some onto the driveway and never cleaned it up. It is a very thin layer so it wont be possible to chip off. I'm concerned a powerwasher will do more damage. Ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

Power wash, then apply some sealer , especially if it's been there more then a day ! Power washer will "pit" the asphalt so roll some decent sealer (asphalt sealer ) over it. Good Luck
