An alkali (mix up washing/soap powder and water) to neutralise the acid?
Then just scrap off the corrosion?
Just a guess! 
Cheers,

^^^ you peeps are quick.
wot they say, an alkali. common household chemicals that are alkali are sodium bicarbonate (baking soda NOT baking power), soda crystals - very
aggressive or soap - mildly alkaline.

Don't get too enthusiastic with the caustic soda - it eats aluminium!

If it's still wet then alkali to neutralise as ^^^.
If it's dry and you've already wiped it off with water then I think you're looking at etched aluminium and I don't think
there's much you can do except try and polish it out or paint it.

MILK
Milk is the perfect neutraliser for battery acid. Scrub the area with milk and a clean rag, then wash off with soap and water.
