Its very powerful blasting spray easily removes brake fluid, grease, oily dirt, and contaminants from linings, pads and drums, cylinders, and springs without disassembling the brake unit. This special formula is also suitable for cleaning equipment, tools, and most metal parts. The following are its key features:

  • EPA & 50 state compliant
  • 10% VOC
  • Non-chlorinated
  • Does not contribute to smog
  • Blasts away deposits
  • Instant evaporation
  • Residue free
