[Rhodes22-list] Bottom Cleaning miracle

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

The term "biodegradable" is about as meaningful as "organic".  This product
is mainly hydrochloric acid.  It is best used in a quarter car wash or
somewhere else that treats the runoff as industrial sewage.  And I can't
imagine what it does to your trailer.
