CRC Brakleen Brake Cleaner Spray 19 oz 12-Pack — Non-Flammable, Fast-Evaporating Solvent

CRC Brakleen 1003706 is a fast-evaporating, non-flammable brake cleaner spray that lifts grease, oil, tar, and brake dust without leaving residue.

Designed for professional shops and DIY mechanics alike, this 19 oz aerosol comes in a 12-pack to keep multiple service bays or home garages supplied. Its powerful solvent formula cleans springs, drums, calipers, pads, and other brake components quickly while evaporating rapidly so surfaces are ready for inspection or reassembly. Because it has no flash or fire point, it provides a safer alternative to chlorinated 111-based cleaners when working around hot equipment; however, exercise caution on plastics and painted surfaces to avoid damage.

How does CRC Brakleen remove stubborn contaminants?

The formula penetrates and dissolves grease, oil, tar, brake fluid, and road grime to expose clean metal and friction surfaces. Its quick-solvent action breaks bonds between contaminants and brake parts so particles rinse away or evaporate with the solvent.

• Powerful solvent blend lifts hardened oil, grease, and brake paste.
• Fast evaporation leaves no oily residue that could affect braking.
• Aerosol spray reaches tight caliper bores, pads, and backing plates.

Is it safe to use around hot equipment and ignition sources?

Yes — this CRC Brakleen variant is non-flammable and has no flash or fire point, reducing ignition risk during typical automotive and industrial maintenance. Despite improved safety compared with flammable cleaners, normal precautions like ventilating the work area and avoiding open flames are still recommended.

• Non-flammable formula suitable for many shop environments.
• Evaporates quickly to minimize pool formation on hot components.
• Follow label directions and keep away from direct flames and sparks.

Which brake and clutch parts can I use it on, and what should I avoid?

Use Brakleen on brake drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, shoes, pads, clutch discs, springs, and other metal braking components for effective decontamination. Avoid prolonged contact with plastic trim, painted surfaces, and certain rubber seals — test on an inconspicuous area first and use caution around non-metal parts.

• Safe for metal brake parts and most friction materials when used as directed.
• Not recommended for some plastics, painted areas, or sensitive rubber components.
• Rinse or blot excess and allow complete evaporation before reassembly.

How should I use the 19 oz aerosol for best results?

Shake the can, position the spray nozzle 6–12 inches from the target, and apply short bursts to loosen deposits. Use a brush for heavy build-up, then spray again and allow the solvent to evaporate fully before testing or reassembling. Wear gloves and eye protection to prevent irritation.

• Shake can well and spray 6–12 inches from the surface in short bursts.
• Brush stubborn deposits, respray, and let parts air-dry completely.
• Use PPE: gloves, goggles, and good ventilation during application.

Who is this for: CRC Brakleen 1003706 in a 12-pack is aimed at professional technicians, fleet maintenance teams, and committed DIYers who need a reliable, shop-ready non-flammable cleaner to maintain brake and clutch systems. It’s a practical choice for garages that require bulk supply, for restoration projects, and for anyone wanting fast, residue-free cleaning of metal braking components — provided they respect instructions and exercise caution around plastics and painted surfaces.
