    There are more than a few explanations on the Internet - here's one: "These differences are sometimes exploited by schemes such as "title washing", in which a vehicle branded as 'junk' in one jurisdiction is registered in another, moving from state to state until one state with slightly different regulations brands the same vehicle as 'salvage' but repairable. A vehicle with Arizona registration and a 'salvage' title for salt water damage would, for instance, represent a red flag as a vehicle possibly once owned by a little lady from New Orleans named Katrina. Vehicles with salt water or hurricane flood damage often have severe corrosion and electrical problems which cannot be properly repaired, so are best avoided." (From Wikipedia)

    I have heard it referred to as title cleaning, never title washing or title branding but it's apparently all the same thing.
