PeterH Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Going back to my original question about brake cleaner. I've bought a 5 L can, and it fetches off the old glue a treat, and not quite so smelly as petrol, though I am wearing my paint spray mask.

That's the same as the old joke about making your house smell fresh in every room; spray air freshener on your collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iana Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 On 27/06/2020 at 10:06, Pete Lewis said: its a clean evaporating product which is good at de greasing and cleaning just about anything its very useable clean and evaporates to a dry clean finish on brakes it removes resin deposits on disc drums etc. its really a jack of all trades stuff , economical to use , especially if bought from any decent factors in 5ltr cans for around £10 - 14 as said you must use a proper pump spray £8 - 20 , but i would not be without it . Just a word of caution with the sprayer shown above, I sourced one and it worked really well with Holts brake cleaner on its first use, however the sprayer then stopped working and I contacted the supplier, eventually I got a refund but I noticed that they had altered the item description to include only suitable for acetone and solvent free use. Anyway I’m now looking for a new sprayer that is suitable for brake cleaner (holts brand) so any recommendations appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 the Wurth and other proper sparyers will last for ever https://www.amazon.co.uk/WURTH-BRAKE-CLEANER-PUMP-DISPENSER/dp/B01G8HYWE8/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1DPOLJ9YDT3DT&dchild=1&keywords=brake+cleaner+spray+bottle&qid=1609063156&sprefix=brake+clea%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Another vote for the Wurth sprayer. Seems very reliable. And importantly spare seal kits available. Having got through about a dozen or so aerosols of cleaner each year I changed to the sprayer version around Easter. Pleased so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi Budget Job?. Mr Muscle Shower Cleaner, or similar "throw away" sprays,(other brand(s) availabable!) When the Spray Bottle is empty, I recycle them for Brake cleaner use, they tend to last a couple of weeks or so before the spay head gives up the ghost, at which point I swap the spray head for the next one then (recycle) bin the useless one. Been doing this for some 10 years now. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
