Brake clean is nasty stuff. A wise man once told me it only takes 1 drop to ruin 5 quarts of oil. That’s why you shouldn’t clean porous aluminum parts with it. ---

I think Easy Off Oven Cleaner is even worst then brake cleaner. I got one wiff of that shit while getting the paint off my rims and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I would never even think about using that stuff to clean something that I cook food out of. ---

interesting story, my buddy and I when we were younger decided to have a spray can war. I picked up WD-40 and he picked up Brakekleen. I turned a corner in the shop and he sprayed me, directly in the eyes. Words cannot express the amount of pain I was in. It felt like someone cut my retinas with a razor blade. ---
