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

Back in the "olden days," all we'd do was an occasional washing
of the terminals with baking soda and water. Occasionally, and
especially with a new battery, a liberal application of Vasoline
mixed with baking soda would keep the terminals in like-new
condition. My next door neighbor had a Vasoline/baking soda
bottle that he claimed dated from his return from WW2, that he
kept in the garage and used occasionally on his auto battery
terminals.

The time to repay our Congress and
White House for their socialist legislation
will be when they run for reelection. Think
Of it as flushing a very soiled toilet.
