Substrate Suitability:

Soudal Brake Cleaner is specifically formulated for use on metal components of brakes and clutches.

It is NOT suitable for use on rubber, plastics, or painted parts as its solvent-based formula may cause damage or degradation to these materials. Before proceeding with the application, it's crucial to identify the materials present in the area to be cleaned and ensure that they are compatible with the product's specifications.


Surface Preparation:

Prior to applying Soudal Brake Cleaner, ensure that the area around the brakes and clutch components is adequately prepared. This involves removing any loose dirt or debris that might interfere with the cleaning process or become dislodged and contaminate other parts of the vehicle.

Testing the product on a small, inconspicuous area of the surface beforehand is highly recommended to check for any adverse effects, especially when dealing with sensitive or uncertain materials. Additionally, confirm that the workspace is well-ventilated, as the solvent-based cleaner requires ample air flow to safely evaporate and disperse fumes generated during use.


Application Method:

  1. Shake the Can: Before use, vigorously shake the can to ensure the contents are thoroughly mixed, optimising the cleaner's effectiveness.

  2. Apply the Cleaner: Hold the can at a comfortable distance from the parts to be cleaned, and spray a sufficient amount of Soudal Brake Cleaner directly onto the surfaces. The 360° Aerosol Technology allows for easy application from any angle, ensuring comprehensive coverage even in hard-to-reach areas.

  3. Let It Work: After spraying, allow the cleaner to penetrate and work on the contaminants for a few seconds. This brief waiting period enables the solvent to dissolve grease, oil, and dirt effectively.

  4. Wipe Clean: If necessary, use an absorbing cloth to wipe the components clean. This step ensures that all loosened contaminants are removed, leaving the parts free of residue.

  5. Repeat if Required: In cases of extensive carbon contamination or particularly stubborn grime, the procedure may need to be repeated to achieve complete cleanliness.

  6. Ensure Ventilation: Throughout the application process, ensure that the workspace remains well-ventilated. The fast-drying nature of the cleaner means that it evaporates quickly, but sufficient airflow is necessary to disperse any solvent fumes and maintain a safe working environment.
