Which Brake Parts Cleaner Brand Wins?

of content, 483 g with can

in the top group with 3M and Berryman between 8 and 9 seconds

over eight times as long as the Gumout and Berryman, the slowest of all products tested

even slower than Sprayway

second fastest overall behind Detroit Axle

a little faster than Gumout

in the top group with Lucas and 3M between 8 and 9 seconds

just a little slower than Gumout and SuperTech

the slowest non chlorinated cleaner at that point in testing

second place behind Berryman at that point in testing

by far the fastest of all products tested, more than twice as fast as the next closest competitor

faster than average

total

tied for first with chlorinated Gunk

part of a three way tie for second with non chlorinated CRC and Johnsen's

part of a three way tie for second with non chlorinated CRC and Permatex

still had a small amount of grease and marker remaining, test stopped for lack of further progress

faster start than Gumout

total

part of a three way tie for second with Permatex and Johnsen's

to remove all grease, but did not fully remove the permanent marker stain

total, same as Gumout, slow start and continued to struggle

third place behind non chlorinated CRC

described as evaporating too quickly to compete with the top five brands on this test

same as Sprayway and Lucas

third place at that point in testing

third best; 3 cents per gram of sludge removed, the most cost efficient

described as the best yet at that point; 0.67 g of sludge removed per gram of product, the best ratio of any product; 4 cents per gram of sludge removed, second most efficient

fifth place at that point, moved ahead of non chlorinated CRC

removed from plate (298.85 g to 298.39 g); 47 g of product used from can

removed from plate; 71 g of product used from can

removed from plate (303.3 g to 301.4 g); can weight dropped from 472 g to 445.54 g, transcript states about 48 g used though the stated figures subtract to roughly 26 g, kept verbatim due to ambiguity

second place behind chlorinated CRC at that point in testing

about half of non chlorinated CRC's result

removed from plate, continued to struggle

removed from plate, described as not spraying with much force

removed from plate, did not pack a powerful punch

0.57 g of sludge removed per gram of product, second best ratio

evaporates faster than Permatex and left behind less residue

took a very long time to evaporate but left behind only a very small amount of residue, by far the best yet at that point

very slow to evaporate and left behind quite a bit more residue than Sprayway

left behind a little more residue than Permatex but still performed well

left behind quite a bit of residue with an oily feel

better than Gumout but still quite a bit of residue left behind

evaporates a little faster than chlorinated CRC but left behind some residue, better than Gumout, about the same as SuperTech

takes a little longer to evaporate than Berryman but left behind a little less residue, residue does not feel oily

performed better than Gumout

left behind a very thin layer of residue, similar to non chlorinated CRC, better than average

slow to evaporate but leaves very little residue, one of the best so far

left behind more residue than chlorinated CRC, performed about the same as Johnsen's

left behind a little more residue than Detroit Axle
