There’s a blurry line between detailers and influencers! They seem to like what’s ‘cool’
This is my sealey one. Seems identical to the Wurth but twice the price.
Even made in Germany

I reuse empty mini 80ml and 200ml aerosol cans. Refil to 80% with syringe and a little squirt of butane propellant.
However zoro sell 600ml aerosols at a similar value to gallon bottles, have a couple, but they take too much shelf space to keep in the shed.

What’s in it? Might be worth a Google for that.
Unless it’s a blend of ingredients then just ignore me
God knows James, I will have a look on the label, seems to do the job.

I just buy the cheap stuff from the car parts place, generally it's holtz, and about 12 quid a 5l tin. Have had some from zoro too when it was on sale.

Tetrachloroethylene, a deadly danger in brake cleaner
Tetrachloroethylene may be a chemical you’ve never heard of, but chances are pretty good that it’s a substance you’ve been in contact with. This is especially true if you use brake cleaner.

Anybody remember Dabitoff? A bottle of carbon tet with a pad at the top, designed to remove fat marks from clothes. I liked the smell, though not in a glue-sniffing way, which hadn't yet been invented.
I inherited a bottle of carbon tetrachloride when my stepfather died. I think it slowly evaporated ovet the years.
Edit I see the brand name of Dabitoff still exists, though without the CCl4 for some reason

I thought the use of perc was heavily regulated for dry cleaning and near enough banned for any uncontained use? Same as carbon tetrachloride?Tetrachloroethylene, a deadly danger in brake cleaner

Zoro was much cheaper but its now £16/20 for 5L.
I wonder how much brake/solvent cleaners the UK gets through each year, but I'll bet its not even a tiny fraction of petrol that evaporates

Brake cleaner hasn't had that in it in the UK for years, I'm not sure even the yanks allow it still.Tetrachloroethylene, a deadly danger in brake cleaner

When I bought my launderettes 20 years ago they all had coin op dry cleaning machines installed that were in a dreadful state of repair. I removed them as they were a danger to the public, however at one shop there was a metal tank of probably 750 litres of perchlorethylene. It presented quite a disposal problem but I had it professionally removed. Several years later I was doing work on the underground drainage in the back yard and the whole system stank of perc so I dread to think what had been going on under the previous ownership.I thought the use of perc was heavily regulated for dry cleaning and near enough banned for any uncontained use?

You need the blue wurth one. The red one will fail with panel wipe.

The wurth ones last a good few years of daily use, think mine is about 3 years odd maybe more, had shed loads of cheapies before all a total waste of money.
