The car batteries I've used were acid. It's very possible
that Coca cola helps clean the terminals, though.

If you wash it off, use a baking soda solution to
neutralize the acid.

I think it's the reverse: the crud is alkaline. It can be
washed off and
neutralized with vinegar or, more easily, with Coca-Cola.
