mask in enclosed spaces
- Long-sleeved clothing to prevent skin contact

Apply liberally to
brake components from 15-20cm distance

Brake Cleaner vs Degreaser: Key Differences
WICS Professional Brake Cleaner features a powerful solvent-based formula designed to rapidly degrease brakes and components, evaporating quickly without leaving any residue.
In contrast, water-based or alkaline degreasers are also effective but do not evaporate on their own—they must be rinsed or wiped off after application. While these degreasers may not match the strength of solvent-based cleaners, they offer greater versatility and are suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces, including floors, walls, roofs, and more.
When to Use Brake Cleaner
Brake cleaner is specifically formulated for brake system
components and offers:
-
Fast evaporation -
leaves no residue that could affect braking performance
-
Non-corrosive formula -
safe for rubber seals and brake components
- High solvency - effectively removes brake-specific contaminants
When to Use Degreaser Instead
General degreasers are better suited for:
- Engine
bay cleaning
- Heavy
grease removal
- Non-brake
mechanical components
- Situations where residue removal isn't critical
