Anything can be acid washed like Bio Dude said, but the biggest thing to not ruin something when acid washing is to make sure your concentration is right. Too many people mix the acid far too strong, and that is when they start getting from bad to terrible results and totally ruining the polish on aluminum. I put about a quarter cup to two gallons and it is just about perfect. a solid 50:1 ratio.
To be clear, A cup has 8 fluid ounces in it and a gallon has 128 ounces. 2 gallons would be 256 ounces and a 1/4 cup would be 2 ounces
The actual dilution would be 127:1 in that scenario
