3M High Power Brake Cleaner, 08880, 14 oz Net Wt

I never do any type of job with out a can of this on hand. The uses are limitless. It even makes a GREAT gun cleaner. I use this to get 90% of the gunk off a dirty gun. I use the expensive carbon solvents for the rest. This works great at the gun range when a quick clean is needed. It takes only SECONDS and you are done. This is no where as caustic on parts like carb cleaner can be. Yes, Brake Clean can melt certain plastic and damage some paints, but try acetone or carb cleaner and see the the difference. Avoid contact with skin at all costs. It will get absorbed and can cause neurological issues, but that is likely repeated heavy exposure. Wash your hands well with soap and water after use. Best to wear barrier gloves it you are concerned about even a small exposure. Always use a good hand cleaner like Go Jo with pumice at the end of a greasy job. Wash and moisturize your hands when ever it has been in contact with brake clean. Gloves are always a good idea but not always possible. People with very sensitive skin MUST use chemical resistant gloves when working with this product. My hands ARE pretty sensitive but will be OK as long as I wash and rinse a lot. Once you use this product you wont believe how you survived with out it for so long. Oh, and it does work great for its labeled purpose of cleaning off brake rotors and pads of brake fluid and grease and road grime.

There really isn't much you can say about this. It's a can of brake cleaner. It'll work the same as any other cleaner out there. But, considering it's from a reputable company, it is sold at a decent price. As for the uses of the product itself, it'll eat up just about anything. When used correctly, a can of break cleaner is easily one of your best friends when doing pretty much any product. It's good for cleaning brakes, but also good for eating away at any kind of nasty guck or grime you might encounter in your automotive adventures. Although I would not recommend anyone try this, I even knew a few mechanics who would spray a little bit of it on their hands to remove the grime stuck in their hands after working on their vehicle. Again, DO NOT TRY THAT, because it's meant to dissolve stuff, and that includes the stuff on your hands, and I'm sure it has some negative side effects when doing this (the guys I knew who did this weren't exactly the brightest cookies in the toolbox). But, it'll get the job done. I also find that it's fantastic for cleaning out sealed bearings, provided they don't have a plastic hub (the brake cleaner will eat away at the plastic). In short, this is a great price for a brand-name product.

Degreases, and rinses well. Easy to control spray power. This works well on all types of grease, oils, and fine dust, etc. The odor is not so powerful as the acetone version (3M 08180). Does not cloud acrylic. Does not dissolve paint (YMMV). Evaporates quickly, so there is less runoff and mess to clean up. I used this to clean dry (wax) lube from a bicycle drive-train. I can easily go through a whole can for one cleaning. Serious gunk should be cleaned off with a penetrating oil and/or degreaser. I recommend saving this brake cleaner for the final rinse. (UPDATED: I had swapped part numbers accidentally.)

The cleaner was easy to use and came with a plastic straw for better detail work. It cleaned my brake rotors prefectly and did not leave any film or residue, evaporated off in a short period of time. When using any brake cleaner be sure not to spray any on a painted surface, if you do clean immediatly with soap and water. Same goes for skin or eyes, recommend using saftey glasses.

I bought this to help remove the oil deposits on my drive and it worked very well dissolving the thicker deposits. After washing it off there was a shadow of where the deposit had been; but the drive was much improved. Now, for it's real purpose (cleaning up your brake assemblies) it works much better than most. I would certainly recommend this product.

update: After several email exchanges the Seller has found every excuse NOT to back his product from blaming Amazon to he is out of stock- I would give zero stars if possible . I bought this several months ago, and as it turned out didn't need to use it until today (definitely past the return window). I had given 3 stars because of the faulty spray nozzle that doesn't work at all from the first try (I should have tried it when I received it - my bad). I have reached out to the seller through Amazon and will amend my rating as to how they respond to the failure of their product. After a week No Response from the seller - BUYER BEWARE

Good product.

What more can I say? I used this brake cleaner while replacing my drum brakes and it worked exactly as intended. Easily allowed me to wipe off the excess brake dust, dirt, and grime caked all over the brake components. Easy to apply and dried fast.

Excellent brake cleaner. I used this cleaner to clean up the disc's on my tent trailer when I replaced the tires. Good pressure behind the needle and left my brake discs clean as a whistle! Can't go wrong here, if you need this product.

Used in my KTM DUKE 250 rear brake disk...braking bite has improved.

Awesome

Sorry the seizing break noise still there
