I just learned that you can buy brake cleaner in gallon containers.
And then you can just use reusable aerosol sprayers.
How did I not know this???
This is 1/50th the cost of buying pre-made cans.

I thought brake cleaner was like MAF cleaner. Where you can't really make it yourself or buy it in bulk.

Wurth has been doing this for some time now. I still prefer cans just because they fit in tight spaces better, but the cost saving does make it tempting.

>>28527538 (OP)
this is an old known fact. i went through a few gallon containers, but most reusable sprays are shit, heavy, large, and cumbersome. just look at that fucking handle
ive been buying a dozen cans off amazon for $32, best deal, lasts me over a year.

>>28527548
1 Gallon of brake clean is $50 though.
That's like 25 cans.

yeah so its not longer that cheap.

>>28527966
I was paying $30 a while back
again, $32 for a dozen cans right now is about 60% more expensive than that, and 100% more convenient

>>28527986

>>28528046
I dont waste money on brand name
prices are going up tho, i first paid $36 then $40 and now its $45

>>28528094
The non-chlorinated shit fucking sucks.

>>28528181
I've used both and can't say I've noticed a difference.

>>28527908
heh

>>28527538 (OP)
They even make good ones.

>>28527900
yeah that flimsy pos isn't going to hold up to brake cleaner, even just spraying water the seals are dead in a year

Get another sureshot and run gasoline in it. It's my go to solvent for 99% of jobs and has cut down on the amount of brake cleaner and carb cleaner I use by a ton.

>>28527538 (OP)
I tried this once with degreaser and now I'm stuck with this 5L bottle of this weird pink shit which doesn't degrease for shit and isn't at all like the stuff in the cans.
Maybe it would be different with brake cleaner but I'm too salty to try again.

>>28528359
I've seen reputable mechanics use em so they can't be that bad.

>>28527538 (OP)
>>28527543
I don't know if it's still the case but when I was hanging out with apprentice mechanics Wurth had a deal where if you bought two of the big plastic containers of brake cleaner they would give you one of these >>28527900 with them for free. Good cleaner and good sprayers, I found them much better to use than the shit in a can. As an added bonus you can spray shit with it and set it on fire for fun. We used to use them as little flamethrowers like kids do with deodorant cans but you have to keep a rag in your other hand as well as the cigarette lighter so you can put the flame out since as soon as you stop spraying it goes up to the bottle. I wouldn't trust some of you retards on here to do it and not kill yourselves but it was good fun.
>>28528359
The ones you use for brake cleaner are different you fucking spastic.

>>28528537
love the wurth shit, it's good. threads like these remind me to give the guys in the workshop donuts and other gifts because they give me stuff like brake cleaner for free

>>28528181
It really depends on the formulation. In general, if it burns your skin, it's good. Like O'Reilly's non-cholorinated, for instance.
