From what I've seen at my local plating shop, this is usually a difference between a hexavalent wash and a trivalent wash. The trivalent is much more lemony.
Unfortunately, my local shop said that after 1Q15 they would no longer be doing the hexavalent due to wanting to meet "greener" guidelines, and get the EPA and OSHA off their ass.
