  62. Ingredients and feel differ slightly, so find the brake cleaner that suits you! Brake cleaner is also called parts cleaner. Spraying a mixture of petroleum-based solvent and gas quickly washes away oily dirt on parts. Unlike cleaning with gasoline or kerosene, it dries without scrubbing or leaving sticky residue. Originally developed to wash away dirt stuck to grease leaking around drum brakes or calipers, its ingredients are intended to clean oily, brake-dust-covered metal without attacking rubber or plastic. Most products called brake cleaner appear to have broadly similar ingredients, but solvents and their proportions differ slightly by manufacturer, affecting cleaning performance and drying time. Choose according to your use and preferences. Propellant pressure also seems to differ. CFC-free products are now mainstream, and many emphasize quick drying. Ones that spray upside down are convenient. Most come with a straw-like nozzle, useful for cleaning places your hands can't reach.

  64. a useful chemical that washes it away, too. [End of an adjacent sentence.]
  65. How long does it take to dry? Fast-drying products speed up work, but may be inconvenient when using a metal brush to work slowly on stubborn dirt.
  66. How high is the gas pressure? Higher pressure blasts dirt away better, but makes it harder to finely control the amount sprayed and tends to increase consumption.
  67. [Unclear isolated character.]
  68. Does it smell? This depends on preference, but most don't have an especially strong
  69. odor.
  70. How powerful is the solvent? Some products can dissolve paint, so select according to the task and judge which surfaces can be treated.
  71. Note: these brief impressions are the honest observations of [staff identification damaged], who sprayed the products on his hands and smelled them. “Fast,” “slow” and “has an odor” are relative opinions after checking every product. Please treat them only as a rough reference.
