No Disassembly Needed
Deep-cleans calipers and drums in place, cutting time and effort on every job.
-
360° Valve Access
Sprays at any angle so you can hit tight, hard-to-reach positions without awkward contortions.
How does it compare?
Fra-Ber Brakes & Metal Cleaner vs a typical cheaper brake cleaner
Brake cleaners look similar on a shelf, but the details matter when you are working on safety-critical components. Here is an honest side-by-side so you can decide whether the upgrade is worth it for your situation.

Versatile Degreaser
One can handles far more than just brakes
Beyond the brake bay, Brake & Metal cleans gears, chains, pins and mechanical parts before assembly, and is safe enough for electrical contacts too. The 360° valve means you can get product exactly where you need it, even in the most awkward corners of a chassis or engine bay.

Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can Brake & Metal be used on?
It is designed for disc brakes, drum brakes, calipers, gears, chains, guides and bare metal parts. It is also safe on electrical contacts and electrical equipment, and on rubber seals, so there is no need to mask or remove those components before spraying.
Do I need to disassemble the brakes before using it?
No. Brake & Metal is formulated for in-situ cleaning. Spray directly onto the caliper and brake components without removing or pulling apart internal parts. The solvent action dissolves deposits on contact.
How quickly does it dry?
The product is fast-drying by design and leaves no oily residue once it flashes off. On brake surfaces this typically happens within seconds, so the vehicle can be returned to service quickly without a wipe-down step on most applications.
Is it safe to use on rubber brake seals and boots?
Yes. The formula is specifically stated as safe on rubber, so caliper boots, dust seals and hose coverings are not at risk. This is one of the key advantages over aggressive solvent cleaners that can swell or degrade rubber over time.
Can I use it on electrical components?
Yes. Brake & Metal is suitable for cleaning electrical contacts and general electrical equipment. Always ensure the system is de-energised before spraying, and allow full evaporation before restoring power.
How does the 360° valve work and why does it matter?
The special 360° valve allows the can to dispense product even when tilted upside-down or at sharp angles. This is particularly useful when spraying into tight caliper pockets, chassis-mounted components, or any area where holding the can upright is not practical.
Can it be used to clean parts before assembly or sealing?
Yes. The product is explicitly suited to degreasing gears, chains, guides, pins and spare parts prior to assembly and sealing operations. A clean, oil-free surface improves the adhesion of sealants, threadlockers and gasket compounds.
Are there any precautions I should take when using Brake & Metal?
Always shake the can before use and work in a well-ventilated area, as the product contains solvents. Keep away from open flames or ignition sources while spraying. Avoid prolonged skin contact and wear nitrile gloves if you are working for an extended period.
