Shouldn't be a problem.

Leave them there for Doug to clean

Truck wash or CT18 is the go for coolant stains I've found. You may have to brush it around a bit then hose off.
Otherwise I can get the detailers next door to clean it good as new. (they have special secret chemicals)

believe it or not, something good to clean old coolant stains is fresh coolant.

then you wash it down with hot water before it dries and stains again.
