Coke has phosphoric acid, I don't recommend it. On the cheap-lots of water, pennies- baking soda, dollars-dilute lye or driveway cleaner, big bucks -powerwasher.

OK
Science, baking soda is the opposite pH of acid, well other end of the scale anyway. If you have lots of that and it just happened, it might neutralize the acid and stop the corrosion.
Otherwise, you aren't going to be able to do anything about it. Ask at the hardware store about a cement patch maybe.
And to the first guy to answer, vinegar is a mild acid, that won't help.

USE ANY ACID BASE SUBSTANCE LIKE VINEGAR . OR BAKING SODA , OR A COKE, THEN WASH IT DOWN WITH THE HOSE. NOW THAT YOU HAVE NEUTRALIZED THE AREA. YOU CAN USE A DETERGENT TYPE SOAP. MOVE IT AROUND ON THE SPOT WITH A PUSH BROOM OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. THEN RINSE. IF THE COLOR IS GONE . YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO HOME DEPOT OR LOWES OR A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE TO GET SOMETHING CALLED SLURRY FOR DRIVE WAYS . IT IS A BLACK TYPE JELL THAT SPREADS OVER THE DRIVE WAY AND HARDENS AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS DEPENDING ON THE TEMP. THIS WILL RESTORE THE COLOR . YOU MAY WANT TO ONLY USE THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE A ASPHALT DRIVE WAY. CONCRETE DRIVE WAYS YOU CAN DO THE SAME PROCEDURE BUT AFTERWARD GO TO YOUR HARDWARE AND PICK UP SOME CONCRETE CLEANER . IT WILL DO THE JOB VERY NICELY

Use Coke® to remove followed by copious amounts of water.
Have been cleaning batteries and battery spills for years this way.

baking soda (if you have a swimming pool, use that soda, the stuff you use for cooking will work but it's more costly coz it's been processed so you can eat it
