Someone splashed concrete on our steel outside door. Can this be removed
without hurting the door finish.

Maybe. Depends partly on how much there is, and how thick it is. Any acid will
dissolve it; some acids may/will harm the finish or even the door. I think I'd
try lemon juice. It's pretty benign.

And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?

Not likely, but good luck.

Vinegar is a mild acid that might do the trick, dilute muriatic acid
will certainly handle it, but might conceivably damage the finish.

Tap the splatters lightly with a hammer to crush the cement and wipe with soap
and water.

Use a hard rubber mallet, if you've got one.
