Green Lightning BC-10

Green Lightning BC-10 is 10% VOC, so it is compliant in all 50 states. This includes California and Utah which have to follow strict regulations, such as Rule 1170 and SCAQMD. It offers superior degreasing power compared to its peers due to a proprietary solvent blend that outperforms the 90/10 Acetone blend found in many other 10% VOC brake cleaners.

Green Lightning BC-10 is a super active solvent blend that provides maximum performance in a brake parts cleaner without the use of chlorinated solvents. 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
