Might be an acid wash. A lot of truckers use it to clean their aluminum wheels.

Kinda on this same subject, sorry to thread jack a bit--

What do you guys use to clean up heads/pistons and other engine components? I want a flat rate job on my Z6 head, and it's all carbon'd up and oily. I found a product called Piston Kleen, but they want ~16 bucks a gallon for it.
