Cleaning a concrete trailer?

An air chisel is only about $20, assuming you already have a small - medium compressor. They are pretty amazing at chipping concrete. Eye protection is obvious but ear protection is also an absolute must.

A common rotary hammer drill with a masonry bit can also clean tight spots very fast and effectively.

I doubt it will be worth the trouble. Why not just use it as is?

Because the wife likes 'pretty' stuff ;) Trying to figure out how much trouble it would be is why I posted. Lots of good suggestions so far.

Unless you're in a real hurry just spray the concrete with a little diesel fuel. It will break the bond over time. I've used diesel fuel to keep my power trowels clean for years. Muriatic acid is as bad for the metal as is is for the concrete.

forget the acid its bad stuff, go with the air hammer and power washer also how dose the trailer empty it self at work i would always throw a few shovels of gravel in the mixer to abrasively clean the create off just a thought

We do a lot of concrete testing where I work and vineagar works pretty good, but you have to let it soak, so probably not a good idea since you would need gallons of the stuff. Air chisel would be the next best thing.
