so is purple power, but thats why there is a list of concentrations on the back, if you let it sit on the part for hours then your in trouble, wash it off, good to go.

Brake cleaner is too damn high to be using as a parts cleaner. I use Naptha or a spray on degreaser.

A gallon of naptha is like $7. It lasts a long time too, pretty powerful stuff.

How does it compare to something like Purple Power? I might go pick some up today.

I think it is better. It is just a slow evaporating paint thinner, it 's a good degreaaser that doesn't dry up the second it hits the atmosphere.

Hey $7 bucks and if you don't like it, then you get to call me an idiot.
