removing plastidip from cement?

So my friend and I just plastidipped our wheels today and imo both cars look awesome, but now I got a problem and I'm not sure how to take care of it. Being the dumb one that I am, I forgot to put boxes or some sort of cover on the cement under all the wheels so now there's 8 small locations of plastdip marks (I didn't jack up the car) on my driveway. My question is, how do I remove it off the cement? Please reply back asap, I have to get rid of it, sort of made my mom angry lol. Thanks!

I tried to peel it off but it barely did any good. I might go purchase some kind of metal scraper or something and try to scrape off some of the sections. As for the others, water sort of ran through it and now it's as if it's part of the cement.

I've tried, worked only three of the eight sections. The other five, water ran over them and now it's literally impossible to peel. I don't even know if scraping it off will work, don't want to leave scratch marks on the cement.

I'm sorry haha, I'm not mechanically inclined at all and I don't even have the proper equipment. I got a jack lift and two jacks from o'reilly auto but it didn't help, I was trying to locate the jack points but failed to do so (after three hours, I finally gave up to the owner's manual and found the rear jack point on the differential). So I plastidipped without thinking and got it on the driveway around where my tires were; so did my friend and now I'm trying to figure out a way to get rid of it lol.
