How do I remove Cuprinol garden wood preserver from a concrete post??

I have managed to get a fair bit of the liquid onto one of my concrete posts and has turned the coated post parts Golden Oak-coloured (read 'bright orange'!)

Does anyone know how I can remove the preserver from the concrete post, or at least restore the natural concrete colour (as much as is possible)??!

what about fence overspray on motorcycle seats (with humps and bumps) and plastics.

I found that Smart Graffiti removal products remove Cuprinol safely even from cars, toys, concrete, bricks and varnished wood etc.

I accidentally sprayed our neighbours Natural Stone patio with Cuprinol Ducksback 5 Year sprayable wood preservative. The Cuprinol Helpline 0870 242 1100 UK (ICI PAINTS) were very helpful. They recommended Bicarbonate of Soda and lots of water rubbed hard with a nail brush or toothbrush. The stains came off. Not sure if concrete will be the same, but i think it should be similar.

I had the same problem with the green stuff. A combination of Patio cleaner and a pressure car washer done the trick..after a few attempts.
