- High pressure from full to empty: Consistent spray pressure makes it easy to reach tight areas and clean at all angles.
- Dries fast with low runoff: Minimizes cleanup time and reduces the risk of contaminating new pads or rotors.

Who It's For
This product suits automotive technicians, brake specialists, and serious DIYers who need a powerful, fast-evaporating solvent for brake and parts cleaning. Its strong solvent profile and high spray force are ideal for cleaning new rotors before installation and for removing stubborn grease on calipers and hardware.
Shoppers who need solvent alternatives in restricted states or who prefer non-acetone formulations should look elsewhere, since sale is prohibited in multiple states and the formula contains a 51% acetone concentration.
