FAQs
Can I use this on motorcycle brakes?
Yes, it is effective for all disc and drum brake systems, including those on motorcycles and vans.
Does this cleaner need to be rinsed off with water?
No, the formula is designed to evaporate completely on its own, leaving no residue.
Will this harm my paintwork?
It is best to avoid contact with paint, as strong solvents can dull or strip automotive clear coats. Wipe away any accidental spills immediately.
Is the sprayer reusable?
Yes, the provided pressure sprayer is designed for long-term use and is compatible with the bulk 5L refills.
How often should I clean my brakes?
It is recommended to use the cleaner during every routine brake inspection or whenever you notice performance degradation or squealing.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer nozzle is not producing a consistent spray pattern.
Check the brass nipple for clogs or debris and ensure the unit is fully pressurized.
Cleaner is not removing heavy, hardened grease.
Use a nylon bristle brush to agitate the area while spraying to break up dense deposits.

- Efficient, non-disassembly cleaning process saves labor time.
- Comes with a high-quality, durable pressure sprayer for consistent delivery.
- Fast-acting formula leaves no residue behind.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the sprayer, fill the 5L container with the cleaner solution, ensure the brass nipple is securely tightened, and pump the handle to build pressure. Always test the spray pattern on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure the brass nipple is adjusted to your preference.
Compatibility: This product is safe for most metallic automotive braking components, including steel discs and aluminum calipers.
Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Always rinse the nozzle with clean water or wipe it down after use if the sprayer will be inactive for an extended period, as solvent residues can harden in the brass fitting over time.
