I'Ve been using CRC Brakleen for almost forever.

They were out but had ZEP brake cleaner......

Never never Ever ever again!

Miserable product!
The fumes will kill you and it just doesn't flash dry like CRC.
It sits and drips for 15 / 20 minutes or more!

I'll stay with my CRC thank you!

That's probably the garbage we are stuck using out here in CA. I'm not sure using an entire can just to degrease one rotor is saving the environment.

i use johnsens.

best shit left on the planet after CA fucked everything up. no joke, this stuff is as brutal as carb clean use to be. it will eat carbon like nothing

you want 2417 NOT the other stuff, which may as well be carbonated water. i buy it by the 1/2 pallet

I use a spray bottle obtained for about a dollar from auto detail supply house. Then I’d use lacquer thinner or mineral spirits bought in bulk at auto paint supply store. That’s just for me at home but if you are running a shop and can bill the customer I love that CRC Very Happy

ZEP makes some decent cleaning and degreasing products. Can't say I have ever seen their brake cleaner on the shelf.

And since we're here, might as well post this one again as a refresher...
