Tried to clean a rust stain off my concrete patio and spent 4 hours making a mural by accident

So I had this big rust spot from an old chair leg that wouldn't budge. I grabbed a bottle of muriatic acid and started scrubbing in circles. The acid bleached the concrete unevenly and now there's this swirly pattern that looks like a storm cloud. It actually turned out kinda cool but I definitely didn't plan it. Anyone else have a cleaning project go sideways and turn into something you actually like?

Ngl muriatic acid's unpredictable like that but seal it quick so it doesn't keep fading.

Wait, doesn't muriatic acid keep reacting with the concrete over time if you don't rinse it super thoroughly? I've seen people get uneven patchiness months later from not neutralizing it right.
