Motip Power Brake Spray Cleaner - 750 ml

The main job of a brake cleaner is to, well, clean brakes, and this Motip stuff does a solid job of it. It's designed to get rid of brake dust, oil, grease, and general road gunk that accumulates on brake discs, callipers, and drums. I've used it on a couple of brake jobs now – once when changing pads on my car, and another time just giving the bike's brakes a good de-gunking – and it cuts through the grime pretty effectively.You give it a good spray, and you can see the dirt and muck dissolving and running off. It evaporates fairly quickly too, which is what you want, leaving the components clean and ready for inspection or reassembly. The 750ml can is a decent size; it feels like it'll last a fair while for home mechanic use, making it pretty good value.It's a powerful aerosol, so you get a good strong spray pattern which helps to blast away loosened dirt from a bit of a distance.Pros:Effective Cleaning Power: Does a good job of dissolving and removing brake dust, oil, grease, and general road grime from brake components.Quick Drying/Evaporation: Dries reasonably fast, leaving minimal residue, which is important for brake performance.Large 750ml Can: Good quantity for the price, likely to last several jobs for the average DIYer in the UK.Powerful Spray: Helps to dislodge dirt and get the cleaner into nooks and crannies.Versatile for Degreasing: While it's a brake cleaner, it can also be useful for degreasing other metallic parts (though always test on a small area if unsure about the material).Cons:Strong Odour & Fumes: Like all brake cleaners, this stuff has a very strong solvent smell. You absolutely must use it in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors, and wearing a mask wouldn't be a bad idea if you're sensitive or using a lot of it.Can Damage Sensitive Plastics/Rubber (Potentially): It's a powerful solvent designed for metal. Be careful to avoid prolonged overspray on delicate plastic parts, painted surfaces, or rubber components (like caliper seals or dust boots) as it could potentially damage them over time. Shield them if necessary.Flammable: This is standard for brake cleaners, but always remember it's highly flammable. No smoking, and keep it away from ignition sources.Messy Run-Off: The dissolved grime has to go somewhere, so make sure you have something underneath (like old cardboard or a drip tray) to catch the dirty run-off, especially if working on a driveway.Overall:The Motip Power Brake Spray Cleaner (750ml) is a solid, no-nonsense product that does what it's supposed to do – clean brake parts effectively. It’s a good staple for any UK home mechanic's shelf. The large can size offers decent value, and it cuts through grease and brake dust well.Just be sure to use it with good ventilation due to the strong fumes, and take care to avoid overspraying it on sensitive non-metal components. For keeping your brakes clean and performing well, or for general degreasing of metal parts, it's a reliable choice

This is a great product, cheaper per ml than most other on the market but no less effective, use it for lots of garage jobs, if even did a great job of cleaning an old stihl trimmer carb today without any agitation! Just be aware it’s a big can so getting it into small wheel arches to clean brakes might be a bit tricky!
