A good deal on brake cleaner
« on: 02 June 2020, 11:47:00 am »
If anyone's interested, there's a good deal from a supplier on eBay at the moment, six cans of brake cleaner for less than £15

I bought some and it seems to do the job well :thumbup

Now showing at £14.99 each :eek


I got a can from Lidl a couple of weeks ago. Can't remember what I paid, but it would have been less than a fiver, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it :)


Always worth looking out for 'car weeks' at Lidl and Aldi

Good spot. And with the code PICK20OFF, there's an extra 20% off that price currently. £20 min spend though, so I picked up some cheap oil too:

Two 4ltr bottles of Shell AX7 semi-synth and half dozen cans of brake cleaner for £50 delivered, bloody good bargain.

Brake cleaner in cans supposedly has at the very least a 6 year shelf life if stored correctly, so if you get through it a bit you may as well go for the 12 cans using the PICK20OFF code and it works out at £17.99, or £1.49 each per 600ml can.

And if you REALLY use a lot of it then 24 cans works out at around £1.29 per 600ml can.

That's pretty damn good, bearing in mind they sell singles for a minimum £5.20, and upwards.
