edge007 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 As i work in a garage, the mechanics use brake cleaner to get the dirty grime off engine parts and obviously brakes. Ive seen this work and its really good stuff. My question is...... could i use this to clean my Browning Maxus semi auto barrell and gas ports/springs ect??

WelshLamb Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think it will strip the bluing off - so be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 no it won't, it'll clean all the **** super quick, just dont spray it over plastic/wood, if you can buy a bottle or non aerosol can and use a brush it'll save too much over spray.

DSPUK Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I use it on Beretta piston but do not get it near any blueing - I know Coke strips blue off barrels so wouldn't trust brake cleaner - don't ask me how I know. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polester Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I use it instead of action blaster, never had a prob with bluing or plastic damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but can only suggest caution, others here say it is fine, perhaps it is, as the parts you are talking about on the gun are pretty tuff, all I can say for sure is, it has ****** up my alloy wheels! Very different to the inside of your gun just the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asu have have such a good gun, can u not afford some recommended cleaner? Why skrimp on a couple of quid, when it could cost u a lot more in the long run.

Why skrimp on a couple of quid, when it could cost u a lot more in the long run. I can get brake cleaner any time i want and thats why i asked the question. I do use some recommended cleaner at the moment but doesnt shift all of the grime/dirt as i expected. I thought brake cleaner would work slightly better. I will give it a go and compare the two.

Catweazle Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I use a brake cleaner on my bike brakes, it smells slightly citrus which suggests it might be acidic. The Halfords type doesn't have the same smell, so I guess there are different varieties - be cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
