FAQs

How often should I use brake cleaner?

It is recommended to use brake cleaner as part of routine brake maintenance, such as when changing brake pads or if you notice excessive dust build-up causing noise or reduced performance. It can also be used whenever degreasing is needed on metal automotive parts.

Can I use this on my car's painted bodywork?

No, this cleaner is a strong solvent and is not safe for painted surfaces. It can damage or dissolve paint. Always protect surrounding paintwork when using the product.

Will this cleaner harm rubber brake lines or seals?

Yes, the strong solvent can degrade rubber components. Avoid direct contact with rubber hoses, seals, and other rubber parts of the braking system. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

How long does it take for the cleaner to evaporate?

The cleaner evaporates very quickly, typically within minutes, depending on ambient temperature and airflow. This allows for rapid reassembly or further work on the cleaned parts.

Is this product suitable for cleaning motorcycle brakes?

Yes, it is suitable for motorcycle brakes and clutch components, provided you follow the same precautions regarding compatibility with rubber parts and ensuring adequate ventilation.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight, the product typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Always check the can for any specific expiry information.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner not spraying effectively

Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Shake the can vigorously. If the issue persists, the can may be empty or the valve faulty.

Residue left after cleaning

This is unusual as the product is designed to evaporate residue-free. Ensure full coverage and allow adequate drying time. For very heavy, baked-on grease, a second application might be needed.

Surface appears discolored or damaged

The product may have been in contact with incompatible materials (e.g., certain plastics, paints). Avoid spraying on these surfaces. Test on a small, hidden area first if unsure about compatibility.

Fumes are overpowering

Improve ventilation in the working area immediately. Use respiratory protection if necessary. Avoid prolonged exposure.
