FAQs
Can I use Autotek Caliper Cleaner on other car parts?
Autotek Caliper Cleaner is specifically formulated for brake components prior to painting. While it effectively removes grease and dirt, it's best to use products designed for other automotive surfaces to avoid potential damage or incompatibility.
How long does it take for the cleaner to work?
The cleaner works quickly upon application, dissolving contaminants. Allow a short time for the dissolved grime to be wiped away. The surface should be dry before painting.
What is the purpose of the attached straw?
The straw provides a focused spray, allowing for precise application in hard-to-reach areas and intricate parts of the brake caliper, ensuring thorough cleaning.
Do I need to wear protective gear?
Yes, it is recommended to wear gloves and eye protection when using this product, and always ensure good ventilation.
Can I paint immediately after cleaning?
No, allow the brake components to dry completely after cleaning and wiping away residue before applying any paint. Refer to the paint manufacturer's instructions for specific drying times.
What should I do if I accidentally spray it on tires or body panels?
Wipe off immediately with a clean, damp cloth. While formulated for brake components, prolonged contact with other surfaces should be avoided.
Is this product flammable?
Aerosol products are typically flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. No smoking during use or while the product is drying.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle is blocked or not spraying.
Ensure the can was sprayed upside down for 2-5 seconds after the last application to clear the nozzle. If still blocked, try gently clearing the nozzle with a fine pin or replacing the can.
Cleaner is not effectively removing dirt/grease.
Shake the can more vigorously for the recommended 2 minutes. Ensure you are spraying from the correct distance (15-25cm). For heavily soiled areas, a second application may be necessary, or manual agitation with a brush might help.
Residue left after cleaning.
Ensure excess cleaner is wiped away with a clean cloth or brush immediately after spraying. Allow adequate drying time before painting.
