FAQs
How do I ensure adequate ventilation?
Open garage doors or windows, or use the product outdoors. Ensure there is a free circulation of air around the application area.
Can I use this on painted surfaces?
It is not specifically designed for painted surfaces. Test on a small, hidden area first, as the strong solvents may affect certain paint finishes.
Will this cleaner damage rubber brake components?
While designed for brake components, it is a strong solvent. Avoid direct, prolonged contact with rubber seals or hoses. If overspray occurs, wipe it off immediately.
How long does it take to dry?
The cleaner evaporates quickly, typically within a few minutes, depending on ambient temperature and airflow. It dries residue-free.
What is the primary benefit of using this cleaner?
Its primary benefit is the rapid and effective removal of grease, brake dust, and grime from critical automotive components without the need for disassembly, improving performance and safety.
Can this be used for general workshop cleaning?
Yes, it is suitable for cleaning general metal parts, tools, and machinery to remove grease and dirt build-up.
Troubleshooting
Product not spraying evenly
Ensure the can is held upright and the nozzle is not blocked. Shake the can vigorously before and during use.
Grease or grime not fully removed
Apply a more liberal amount of cleaner and allow it to dwell for a moment. For heavy build-up, a second application or wiping with a clean cloth may be necessary.
Unpleasant odor persists after use
Ensure adequate ventilation during and after application. The low odour formulation should dissipate quickly in a well-ventilated space.
