Brake cleaner...

How safe the brake cleaners are

All modern auto chemicals from trusted manufacturers are conditionally safe.

To protect your health when using them, follow safety precautions: work away from heating elements and open flames, in a well-ventilated area, and use protective equipment for your respiratory system, eyes, and skin.

This means that, when used correctly, brake cleaner is no more dangerous than any other modern auto chemical. At the same time, it is highly recommended for every car owner. With this product, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your braking system.

We will explain the key aspects of brake cleaner, including its effects, how to choose the right one, and how to use it properly.

Why You Can't Do Without Brake Cleaner

There is a common misconception that car brakes clean themselves. However, in reality, the contact between discs and pads does not remove buildup—it only heats it up.

Micro-particles of dust and metal shavings get burned onto and embedded in metal surfaces. Over time, this residue damages other brake system components and accelerates wear. Corrosion spots also develop alongside the residue.

How Does Brake Cleaner Work?

  1. Softens burnt-on particles
  2. Removes oil films, grease residues, and other fluids
  3. Disinfects surfaces

Immediately after using the cleaner, you’ll notice a reduction in braking distance. Braking efficiency can increase by up to 20%.

⚠️ Work with such substances only outdoors and while wearing a respirator!

How Often Should You Clean Brake Components?

Scheduled cleaning should be done twice a year—when switching from summer to winter tires and vice versa. Also, treat new parts before installation to remove the protective film.

When replacing pads and calipers, the cleaner will remove abrasive dust. Additionally, brake cleaner effectively removes graphite grease from guide pins and spilled technical fluids.

Signs of a High-Quality Brake Cleaner

  1. Spray pattern: The jet should be powerful, as it affects the cleaner's performance. Ensure the spray has a wide angle—wider angles allow the chemical to reach remote and hard-to-access areas.
  2. Compatibility: If possible, choose a cleaner that is safe for plastic and rubber components.
  3. Dissolving power: The more types of contaminants the cleaner can dissolve, the better.
  4. Evaporation: A good cleaner evaporates quickly after application and leaves no streaks or residue.
  5. Nozzle straw: A canister with a nozzle straw is essential for cleaning hard-to-reach places.
  6. Canister volume: Larger canisters are ideal for auto repair shops. For personal use, 500 ml, 600 ml, and 650 ml sizes are easier to handle, especially for cleaning areas underneath the vehicle. If using the cleaner occasionally, a smaller volume is sufficient, provided it has high effectiveness.

How to Use Brake Cleaner

First and foremost, remember that this auto chemical should be used outdoors. If that is not possible, choose a well-ventilated space. Protect your hands, eyes, and respiratory system with gloves, goggles, and a respirator.

Follow these steps:

  1. Park your car on a flat, safe surface. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine.
  2. Wear personal protective equipment.
  3. Shake the canister thoroughly.
  4. Spray the cleaner onto the discs, pads, and other brake components. Hold the aerosol a few centimeters away from the parts. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  5. Wait a few minutes for the cleaner to dissolve brake fluid residues, dust, and other contaminants.
  6. Wipe all treated parts with a cloth or soft brush.
  7. If necessary, reapply the cleaner and wipe again. Check cleanliness by running your finger over the surface—if you feel an oily film, continue cleaning.
  8. Rinse the system with water or a special solution.
  9. Allow all components to fully dry before reassembling the brake system.

✅ That’s it—your car is ready to go! 🚗
