    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Brake parts cleaner question

What is everyone's favorite brake parts cleaner?
The reason I ask is I bought a can of Advance Auto's brand and it doesn't evaporate. I sprayed some on the rear caliper and the next morning there was still liquid in the pan and it seemed oily. There was no oil on the caliper so as a test I cleaned the pan and sprayed some into the pan. Sure enough there was a puddle of oily stuff in the pan.

The CRC brand totally evaporates, so does Wal-Mart's Super Tech brand.
I use those to clean my things that go BANG! with great results. Much cheaper than Gun Scrubber, too.
 
Stay away from the "green" cleaners and you will be fine. I buy the cheap Walmart stuff by the case.
 
I use the cheap stuff from Pep Boys. It works well, with no oily residue.
 
I have to agree the cheap Wally World stuff does the trick.

I'm with you on the bangsticks, Zook - makes cleanup on the 1911 a snap. :D
 
I use the cheapest I can find, that way I can really let rip, when I used an expensive can it was less effective, because I kept thinking how much I was using and how expensive it was :)
 
I worked at an oil change place and we used the CRC stuff like crazy. It was great.
