Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking soda) Sprinkle it. Mix it with water (As much as you can get to disslove) and spray it. wash the acid off with it.. When it no longer bubbles or fizzes. flush with clear water.> Tons of clear water (Well gallons).
While it is true ANY caustic soda will work Baking soda is safe. Non toxic and though you may need quiet a bit it won't damage the metal if rinsed off quickly.
Some other compounds.... Well in a science lab I might be able to tell you something like "1/4 cup in 10 gallons of water" of some such (NOTE nubmers are grabbed out of air and not even trying to be accurate) but too much is not a good thing.
