I am a firm believer in making sure the work we perform under the hood is clean. Because of this we go through a lot of Oreilly's brake cleaner as I have found that this seems to work the best. The down side is that its expensive. What do you guys use in your shops for this kind of cleaning?

I feel the same way you do, but a word of caution; the long term affects of breathing in those chemicals is not good. It affects the respitory system and other organs like the kidneys. We really restrict the use and don't overuse it and we use brake cleaner from Wurth Products. To keep costs down we buy it in the drum. To be honest, the less we use the better. Where we can clean with good old fashion soap and water, we do it for health reasons.

Would like to hear from other shop owners, this is a great topic....
