Why would vinegar be necessary to prep a metal roof for painting? Does it do something (etch?) to the surface that aids in paint adhesion?

It is not part of my suggestion for re-painting but, if it is being used, it is solely for its cleaning ability -- no sort of "etching" or anything. Todd Miller
