Paul,

The chalk like material might be minerals left from years of 
melting ice
leaving a residue behind.  If this is true a product like 
Lime-Away from
the market might be the answer.  Just be sure to test it on 
some bare zinc
someplace to make sure that it isn't attacked by the 
chemical.

Regards,
Larry
