Surface protection specialist Gtechniq launches non-aerosol brake cleaner

Gtechniq has launched a new Brake Cleaner that expands its workshop offering with a non-aerosol, solvent-based brake cleaner suitable for disc and rim brake applications.

Hot on the heels of its recently launched Fabric Proof spray, Gtechniq’s Brake Cleaner is a proprietary solvent blend, specially formulated to dissolve the contamination that builds up on brake disks and in pads, and then quickly evaporate leaving minimal residue.

It is designed for use on disc brakes, both on and off the bike, and can be used to clean discs and pads alike. It also works extremely well on rim brake wheels and pads, helping to maintain smooth, consistent braking on every ride.

Being in a standard spray bottle rather than an aerosol means more product can be shipped in a smaller volume container, with no need for propellants taking up valuable space. It also allows for better control of application, reducing overspray or product particles becoming airborne in confined workshops, said the firm. Lastly, propellants can be environmentally damaging, and the reduced waste from not using large aerosol helps reduce the environmental impact of the product without compromising cleaning performance.

Gtechniq’s expanding workshop product line focuses around giving bike shops and mechanics top cleaning and protection products in more cost-effective packages, with 5L bottles available across most of the range.

Rob Foster, Gtechniq’s Bike Business Development Manager said: “Brake Cleaner does exactly what it says on the tin, but we have of-course added the Gtechniq touch and spent a lot of time and effort ensuring it’s the best brake cleaner on the market, and a great addition to the workshop range.”

Brake Cleaner is available to the UK and Irish trade from Madison. It comes in a 500ml bottle designed for workshops, and a 250ml bottle designed for home mechanics.

250ml: £7.95 | $8.95 | €8.49
500ml: £14.95 | $15.95 | €13.99
