Default How to remove concrete residue from plastic

My first approach would be diluting some phosphoric acid (etchant for
automotive primer, metal-prep).
Mix in a Labeled trigger spray bottle, and wet the residue, checking
adhesion and re-wetting as needed.

I believe the muriatic would work, but it's a much nastier product to have
around machines.

Some of those tile cleaners like lime-away (can't recall the one with 3
letters), which contain phosphoric acid may be effective, too.

When the residue begins to release, a stiff bristle brush would likely
remove most of it without stripping off the epoxy? case paint.

They have white concrete on them, some solidly stuck. How can I remove
it safely to restore the good looks. Thanks



Ugh. If you're brave, muriatic acid should do it.
