  • Will I need to take off wheels and brake pads to use this? Or just take off wheels and spray it on? Or just spray on through the rim slots with wheels on?

    • You don't really need to clean the brakes unless you have a specific need. E.g. buying new rotors. People use this a general cleaner that strips a lot of grease and oil off used parts.

      • I thought this should help with squealing brakes.

        • You may be able to spray lubricants/put some grease on the brake shims and the back of the pads. Can't do this without assembling the brakes though.

      The name, very confusingly, does not really refer to the primary purpose.
      Do Not try and spray it on brakes still attached to the car. It will damage the tyres, the paint, the rubber tubes, and basically anything that isn't bare metal.

      It should really be called 'Alcohol Solvent Spray', as thats what it is.

      • Brake cleaner is NOT an alcohol solvent.
        Alcohol is way less effective at degreasing and less damaging.
        Wiki "Chlorinated brake cleaners (often sold as non-flammable)[2] use organochlorides like tetrachloroethylene and dichloromethane.[3][4] Historically 1,1,1-Trichloroethane was used, sometimes together with Tetrachloroethylene. It was phased out due to its ozone-depleting nature.[5]

        Non-chlorinated brake cleaners use hydrocarbons as a main component; it will either be a low-boiling aliphatic compound or higher-boiling hydrocarbon mixture. Aromatics like benzene, toluene or xylene may also be used.[6] The hydrocarbons used are sometimes made by hydrogenation from naphtha. The lipophilic liquids dissolve fat-soluble lubricants or oils. Some products also contain polar solvents such as ethanol,[7] methanol,[8] isopropanol, and acetone in order to dissolve non-lipophilic substances. Many formulations are incompatible with various materials, especially plastics."

  • can i use it to clean computer parts? compressed air is too expensive.
    anyone knows if any of these ingredients is bad for electronic parts?

    • Most modern brake cleaners are formulated so that they wont harm electronics, plastics or rubber as all those are contained in or around modern brakes.
      So it'll be fine, Just do it outside so you don't breathe to much in.

      Better to buy Contact Cleaner. This is its actual purpose.

  • This stuff works great on bicycle cassettes, chains & brake discs. The cassette comes out looking like brand new.

    • I started substituting this for petrol for cleaning parts.
      Works well but evaporates very quick.

  • Sorry for the noob question.

    Can this be used to degrease rangehood filters?

    • Just run them through the dishwasher once or twice - they come out like new.

      • Thank you!

  • thanks op got 6.Last deal was better but im nearly out.
