I'd try household vinegar , it is acidic, but I don't think it would etch the metal of your equipment. Spray it on with a garden sprayer, let it soak in and pressure wash off. That's what I use to clean galvanized metal prior to painting. Hope this helps.

Hello MW,

This sounds like it will be ideal, as it does not damage paint or fittings.

Have you used any of these produces? Sometimes you can't believe everthing you read.

We use a produce called Bulldozer, CS-141, and Phos-4-Brite by Arrow Magnolia on our cement trucks it doesn't damage the metal or paint, just a nice clean truck.

Hello bakerjohn,

Unfortunately I do understand I can't believe all I read, but I can only go on the 'write ups' of these products, as I have indeed not used them before. Some are pretty new and I also have not come across the problem of having to remove dried on concrete using any kind of 'paint on' substance. So you are right.

Can you imagine the chaos there could be if these products got into the 'wrong' hands? Please see my PM.

Take care and many thanks for your reply post. Hopefully the OP will listen to and try some of the products you mention?

Most of the concrete industry will use Muratic Acid

Plenty of products to remove concrete but not one that will just soak in and water blast off. Dizzolve is not easy to use...., Concrete is designed to hold for a long time and hard rain would have lots of structures falling down. That said - use any number of concrete release products that are used for reusable forms to be sprayed/painted on before the concrete work starts. then the removal of deposits can be easily removed. Grace products come to mind....
