Anyone that would like the MSDS for Streak Master Aluminum Cleaner, please email me and I will forward the MSDS

Thanks,

Greg

First of all, Thank YOU. Now if you don't mind I have a little to say as well.

I sell thousands of gallons of chemical online and ship tankers (5500 gallons) of chemical to major horse, livestock, and over the road  trailer manufacturers. Wal-Mart is building car washes all over America. I sell them chemicals because we were proven to be more effective and safer than those they reviewed. (And they reviewed a lot) These are just a couple of my accounts. The reason for this statement is because, I am not desperate to sell anything.

I talk to a mulitude of people in the trailer industry, including ordinary folks, trailer dealers, and manufacturers. Everyone knows the acids can cause burns however, HF acid goes way beyond just burning. And this is something that most people do not know. They also do not know that most truck washes use HF acid. So how would anyone know to ash for a citrus wash. (More on citrus wash later)

I am advertising on the board! I am not asking or have not asked anyone to buy Streak Master products in my post. So quit accusing me of doing so...My main concern is that the majority of the people that own trailers do not know about the dangers of poisonous HF acid and felt it would be good info for this forum. I also felt it to be my humanitarian obligation to share this information.

And for all of you accusing me of foul play and also opening a can of worms, did you research the facts before you jumped all over me? Did I ask you to buy Streak Master? Or did I just give you the facts? Thank all of you that supported this post and the research that it has lead to.

My favorite saying: "At Least The Majority Are still Thinking" and the others  "If I Only Had A Brain"

I'm not so sure printing this out and taking it to your next meeting would be the best idea for you.

At this point, you've made your point, the rest of us have as well.

IMHO, its in the best interest of the board to agree to disagree, drop it and move on. We each will do with this information as we please. Hopefully we will all think twice about giving others crap over something they post.

Greg,

To be certain, I have no issues with your product and I think you offer a product that I will most likely purchase in the future. I would offer this advice. Put the MSDS's up as a pdf link on your site. Your site uses the term "acid", you need to differentiate your specific acid from others. To the layperson, acid is acid.

I and many other members of this forum have offered our best advice on many topics. The combined knowledge available from this forum, has been most helpful in my ownership of my vehicles and trailers. Unfortunately there are some members who will disagree with whatever is posted, and try to find fault and place blame with the available information. As a result, there have been many instances of posting members being accused of various maladies, when they are only trying to be informative.

I for one, want to know as much as I can about the products I use. In my working life time, I have used many "industrial" products that are not available to the public, that have caused health problems to many. Anyone who is willing to alert me to the risks, or can recommend a better usage, is fully welcomed in my book. I greatly appreciate the skills and knowledge of others, along with their willingness to share them.

Greg was not selling, he was informing. And for taking the time to make the posting, he is criticised, not thanked by many. I offer an A+ for his thoughtfulness and effort. When a legitimate posting is flamed, it increases the chances of future knowledge being stifled. Few people are willing to endure personal attacks, when their efforts were only intended for the betterment of the forum.

Do we want to shut down the available sources of information by attacking the authors? Aren't we wise enough to not shoot the messengers?

I don't think he was being criticized for the information he was delivering- I think it was the way it was delivered. My hackles went up immediately because of the way the information was stated.

I work in sales and marketing as well and have had extensive sales training throughout my career. I have never felt the need to come across aggressively against a competitor's product- I can sell the merits of my product and do not need to say something negative about someone else's to get the job done. I have encountered other salespeople who will out and out LIE in order to make a sale, so please forgive me if I look at things from a jaded point of view.

I saw the poster's username and immediately thought this was someone trying to sell a product, not just provide useful information. I still have never heard of anyone's horse having a problem from it!

Just offering up the reasons for my reaction!

I didn't read him coming across against any particular product,by brand NAME,that he mentioned.

PinkMouse,he didn't stir things up the first time he came on this forum.He was asked by the forum moderators to come on in preview of his products and the ad that he was paying for on HTW.It was some posters that are no longer on here (and that's a good thing,because,they were RUDE to the maxx,to him,Gard,and several others just because they could be for a while) who came down on him about his products and expected him to pick his own product to pieces in order to try to sell it.

This isnt' Topix,you know.If you want to get ugly about it,go on there on your own hometown and blast away.I like Streakmaster products,they work as promised,and,that's enough for me.I don't care how he pushes it,it's his company.
