Stacked official word:
If you need more stopping power from your hydraulic disc brakes, using Finish Line Bicycle brake cleaner will help your brake pads grip your rotor. If you got oil on your brake pads by touching them with your bare hands or leaking oil on them they most likely do not grab. Before you get new brake pads or get a new set of brakes try this bike disc brake cleaner first. You can use this cleaner to remove oil and grit from your brake rotors and calipers. Take advantage of the Finishline Brake cleaner today.

Finish Line word:
Finish Line® Bicycle Disc Brake Cleaner is engineered to rapidly clean disc brake rotors and pads to optimize braking performance and prevent brake squeal. Using an acetone-free formula, it decontaminates braking surfaces by flushing out unwanted dirt and oil residue, and melting away baked-on brake glaze. Designed to leave zero residue after application, it displaces moisture built up on pads or rotors. The results are improved and predictable braking, and reduced squeal. Bicycle Disc Brake Cleaner is strong enough to clean the dirtiest rotors, yet safe enough to use on pads and around paint, carbon fiber, and plastic parts.

What it does:

removes dirt and oil residue off rotors and pads

Cleans rotors and pads for better braking power

Cleans braking surfaces to help prevent brake squeal

Displaces water from braking components

How it works:

fast & easy - quick drying, no residue

Cleans without adversely affecting sensitive parts near rotor

Without acetone - safe around paint and plastic

Directions:

For best preventative maintenance, use regularly and especially after all wet weather rides.

Rotors: Spray both sides, allow to dry

Pads: Remove wheel, spray pads. For ingrained soils, remove pads from caliper, soak in solution, buff with abrasive material as necessary.

Q&A

Q1: What is the best way to clean disc brakes on a bike?
A: The best way to clean disc brakes is to use a bicycle disc brake cleaner or bike disc brake cleaner specifically designed for brake pads and rotors. Avoid using lubricants like WD 40 on bike brakes, as it can reduce stopping power.

Q2: Can I use isopropyl alcohol on bike disc brakes?
A: Yes, cleaning bike disc brakes with alcohol is effective. Isopropyl alcohol brake cleaner can remove grease, dirt, and oil from bike rotors and disc brake pads safely. Finish line disc brake cleaner allows you to spray in really tight spots with help from it straw nozzle and aerosol spraying ability.

Q3: Can I use car brake cleaner on bike brakes?
A: You can use car brake cleaner on bike brakes, but it is safer to use a bicycle brake cleaner or bike brake cleaner spray to avoid damaging seals and pads.

Q4: How do I clean bike brake rotors?
A: To clean bike brake rotors, spray bike rotor cleaner or bike disc brake cleaner on the rotor and wipe it with a clean cloth. Avoid touching the rotor with your fingers afterward.

Q5: How do I clean mountain bike disc brake pads?
A: For cleaning MTB brake pads, use clean bike disc brake pads with mountain bike brake cleaner or bicycle brake pad cleaner. Remove pads first if heavily contaminated.

Q6: Can I use degreaser on disc brakes?
A: Only use a bike disc brake degreaser or brake cleaner on bike rotors. Do not use general chain degreasers like brake cleaner bike chain on brake pads—they can reduce braking performance.

Q7: How often should I clean bicycle disc brakes?
A: You should clean bike disc brake rotors and clean bike disc brake pads whenever you notice dirt, oil, or reduced braking power, especially after wet or muddy rides.

Q8: What is the safest cleaner for hydraulic disc brakes?
A: A bicycle disc brake cleaner or finish line bicycle disc brake cleaner is the safest way to clean hydraulic disc brakes without damaging seals or pads.

Q9: Can I use alcohol to clean my bike brakes?
A: Yes, cleaning bike disc brakes with alcohol or isopropyl alcohol brake cleaner is effective for removing grease and dirt safely. Finish line disc brake cleaner allows you to spray in really tight spots with help from it straw nozzle and aerosol spraying ability.

Q10: Can I use WD-40 on bike disc brakes?
A: No, do not use WD 40 on bike brakes. It can coat the pads and rotors, drastically reducing braking performance.

Q11: How do I clean contaminated brake pads?
A: To clean bike disc brake pads, remove them and soak in bicycle brake cleaner or lightly sand the surface. Avoid oils like brake cleaner on bike chain, which can contaminate pads further.

Q12: Is finish line disc brake cleaner safe for MTB?
A: Yes, finish line disc brake cleaner or disc brake cleaner MTB is safe for mountain bike brake cleaner applications on pads and rotors.

Q13: How do I remove oil from bike rotors?
A: Spray bike rotor cleaner, bicycle disc brake cleaner, or mountain bike brake cleaner and wipe with a clean cloth. Avoid touching the surface with bare hands after cleaning.

Q14: Can I use chain degreaser on disc brakes?
A: No, do not use chain degreaser on disc brakes or brake cleaner on bike chain for rotors or pads—it will reduce braking efficiency.

Q15: What is the difference between bike brake degreaser and disc brake cleaner?
A: Bike brake degreaser is for removing grease from chains and drivetrains, while bicycle disc brake cleaner is formulated to clean rotors and brake pads without leaving residue.

Q16: How do I clean disc brakes without removing the wheels?
A: Use bike disc brake cleaner or bike rotor cleaner with a rag to carefully wipe down the disc brake rotors while the wheel is installed. Avoid contaminating the pads.

Q17: Can I use rubbing alcohol to clean MTB brakes?
A: Yes, cleaning mountain bike disc brakes with isopropyl alcohol brake cleaner is effective for MTB disk brake cleaner tasks. Finish line disc brake cleaner allows you to spray in really tight spots with help from it straw nozzle and aerosol spraying ability.

Q18: How do I maintain hydraulic disc brakes?
A: Regularly use bicycle brake cleaner or bike disc brake cleaner to clean bike brake rotors and disc brake pads. Avoid oils like WD 40 on bike brakes.

Q19: How to clean disc brakes after riding in mud?
A: Spray mountain bike brake cleaner or disc brake cleaner MTB on rotors and pads, wipe thoroughly, and check for contamination. Avoid using chain degreasers.

Q20: Can I clean disc brakes with spray lubricants?
