CRC BRAKLEEN Brake Parts Cleaner - Non-Flammable -1lb 3 Oz (05089)

CRC BRAKLEEN Brake Parts Cleaner arrives in a non-flammable chlorinated formula, the version of this cleaner that established the category. The chemistry is built for automotive service work, where a fast-acting solvent needs to handle heavy soil without a lengthy scrub. Model number 05089 identifies this particular formulation within the CRC range.

In routine use, the cleaner strips grease, oil, brake fluid and accumulated brake dust from rotors, calipers, pads and linings. It works on the surrounding hardware as well, clearing residue that collects on brake components during disassembly and reassembly. The non-flammable classification distinguishes it from solvent cleaners that carry a flammable rating.

When using this cleaner, direct the spray nozzle at the target component from a short distance and let the solvent do the work rather than scrubbing. It evaporates quickly, so there is no need to wipe surfaces dry afterward, though a clean rag can help remove loosened debris before it resettles. The aerosol format allows for precise application in tight spaces around calipers and backing plates where a rag alone cannot reach. For best results, work on a cool surface and allow the cleaner to fully evaporate before reassembling brake components.

Store the can upright in a cool, dry location away from heat sources, which is straightforward given the non-flammable formulation. The 1 lb 3 oz size works well for a single brake job or two, making it a practical choice for home mechanics and occasional shop use rather than high-volume professional environments where larger bulk containers might be more economical. When comparing brake cleaners, the non-flammable chlorinated type is generally preferred in enclosed spaces where ventilation is limited, since it does not carry the ignition risk of solvent-based flammable alternatives.
