Gtechniq has introduced a solvent-based brake cleaner designed for disc and rim applications. The product utilizes a non-aerosol spray bottle to minimize overspray and shipping volume.
Why it matters
By removing propellants, the new design helps reduce airborne chemicals in confined home workspaces while decreasing overall shipping volume. This shift seeks to improve the environmental footprint of routine vehicle maintenance.
The cleaner is available globally in 250ml and 500ml bottles through local distributors. Pricing ranges from $8.95 for the smaller size to $15.95 for the larger option.
The players
Gtechniq
A developer of chemical-based cleaning and maintenance products for vehicle care and detailing.
The details
The cleaning formula works by dissolving surface contamination on brake components before evaporating rapidly. By opting for a standard manual spray trigger instead of aerosol propellants, the design prevents the creation of fine chemical mists that typically linger in small or poorly ventilated garages.

The Home Front
The automotive maintenance industry is increasingly moving away from aerosol-based cleaners to improve workspace air quality. This development follows a broader trend of shifting toward non-pressurized packaging to reduce environmental and shipping impacts.
If you maintain your own vehicles, look for the new 250ml or 500ml bottles at your local automotive distributor. Ensure your brakes have fully cooled before applying any cleaner to the disc or rim surfaces.
The takeaway
This new product offers a safer alternative for DIY mechanics concerned about chemical exposure in home garages. Consider auditing your current supply of aerosol cleaners and replacing them with non-pressurized versions as they run low.
