This non-corrosive, non-staining formula is essential for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who demand workshop-quality results. Ideal for cleaning disc rotors after machining and preparing brake pads before installation, it evaporates completely without leaving residue that could affect brake performance or bedding-in. The 400g canister provides ample coverage for multiple brake jobs, making it a workshop staple for anyone maintaining passenger vehicles, 4WDs, or light commercial setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eProduct code BBC4 specifically formulated for brake system applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e400g net weight aerosol canister for extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNon-corrosive formula safe for all brake metals and finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNon-staining composition protects surrounding components and paintwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eZero-residue evaporation ensures clean surface for optimal brake pad contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatible with disc brake systems, rotors, calipers, and brake hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuitable for pre-installation cleaning of new brake pads and machined rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Corrosive Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — Safely cleans brake components without attacking metal surfaces, aluminium calipers, or protective coatings.
