Sonny and list,

I have had success removing caliche/alkali with a bathroom cleaning =
product called CLR. It is sold to remove calcium, rust and lime. You =
can watch the action as it bubbles away the coating. I then rinse in =
water and then in alcohol before drying. This seems to work with no =
apparent ill effects. If this is not a good idea, I am willing to =
accept advice from those more chemically astute.
