YES - it is a better cleaner, and also non-flammable. I use it for cleaning parts, tools, etc., and thought the good stuff was not around anymore, but discovered it is, and in fact ordered 3 cases right from the manufacturer today.

So the general consensus is chlorinated brake cleaner? and where do you get "the good stuff"? I use a [censored] load of it so I need some of the good stuff to not remove the paint, etc....

Thanks..

GUNK brand, aka Radiator Specialty Co. P/N M720. Free shipping off their website too if your order enough...

I wish i could still get the gunk brand M720 brake cleaner here in CA. anyone want to drop ship me some?

Here's a new tidbit of info for ya...

Starting January 1st, 2010, the CRC (05089CA) will be illegal in the state of California because it DOES NOT meet the strict compliancy of the EPA of California. yet again, we lead the way in stupidity.
I don't think CRC wil be able to make a compliant formula this soon, specifically for Calif.
So if it's on the shelves, it can be sold, but the parts store won't be able to buy more of it.
The berryman brake spray is just as potent, and a dollar more.

Also.. Freon.. there'll be a $10 core fee applied to ONLY the 12oz cans of freon. the other size cans you can toss in the trash.
the 12oz cans, when brought back for a core refund.. those go in the trash too.

Gotta love the ignorance of the state lawmakers!

Thanks guys.
