Professional brake degreasing in seconds
Effective braking is the foundation of safety during every ride. OC1 Brake Cleaner is a high-performance aerosol spray that instantly restores full brake system function, removing everything that can affect braking effectiveness. Whether you ride a motorcycle off-road, do road cycling or MTB – this product ensures your brakes work exactly when you need them.
The special formula breaks down unwanted particles that settle on brake pads and discs during riding. Brake fluid, oil, grease, asphalt, tar, road dust – all these contaminants can reduce braking force and cause unpleasant squeal. OC1 Brake Cleaner removes them in seconds, requiring no scrubbing or mechanical cleaning. This saves time and ensures delicate surfaces won't be scratched during cleaning.
Key properties
What makes OC1 Brake Cleaner stand out among brake cleaning products?
- Instant action – simply spray the components being cleaned from approximately 15 cm away, and the product will dissolve and remove contamination on its own.
- Safe for carbon fibre – tested for compatibility with all materials used in brake systems.
- Strong degreasing action – removes even the most stubborn deposits from asphalt, tar and oil.
- Contains no chlorinated solvents – lower risk of damaging seals or rubber brake system components.
Who is OC1 Brake Cleaner for?
OC1 Brake Cleaner is a universal solution for all two-wheel users who value brake safety and reliability. Off-road motorcyclists know that riding in mud, sand and dust exposes brakes to intense contamination. After every off-road trip, cleaning the brake system is worthwhile to restore full braking effectiveness – mud and sand deposits act like sandpaper, accelerating pad wear. Road and MTB cyclists are aware that during long training sessions and races, brake pads heat up and brake dust mixed with chain oil settles on discs. Regular cleaning eliminates squeal and ensures predictable brake performance at critical moments. Road motorcycle owners will appreciate that even in urban conditions, brakes are exposed to exhaust fumes, oil mist and road contaminants – a clean brake system means not only safety but also riding comfort without irritating squeal.
Mechanics and service centres will find OC1 Brake Cleaner an essential workshop tool – during pad, disc or brake system replacement, proper degreasing of components is crucial for subsequent braking effectiveness. The product works well for both beginner two-wheel users and experienced competitors. You don't need to be a mechanic to care for your brakes – a few seconds and spraying the surfaces being cleaned is all it takes.
When to use brake degreaser?
Regular brake system cleaning is an investment in safety and longer component lifespan.
- After riding in harsh conditions – mud, sand, water with road salt – all these factors quickly settle on brakes.
- Before competitions – when maximum braking effectiveness matters, ensuring the brake system is free from contamination is worthwhile.
- During pad or disc replacement – degreasing all components before installation ensures proper bedding-in and full braking effectiveness from first use.

1. Preparation
Shake the can well before use. Ensure the components being cleaned are cool – do not apply the product to hot brakes immediately after riding. Working in a well-ventilated area or outdoors is recommended.
2. Application
Hold the can approximately 15 cm from the surface being cleaned. Evenly spray brake pads, disc, calliper and other components requiring degreasing. The product will dissolve and remove contamination on its own without mechanical cleaning.
3. Action time
For light contamination, the product works instantly. For heavy deposits, leave the product on the surface for a few seconds to better dissolve the contamination. Observe as deposits run off with the product.
4. Drying
After application, no wiping is needed – OC1 Brake Cleaner evaporates quickly, leaving no residue. Wait a few seconds until the surface is completely dry. You can speed up the process by gently blowing with compressed air.
5. Inspection
After drying, check that all contamination has been removed. If necessary, repeat application on particularly dirty areas. Ensure surfaces are completely dry before riding.
Important
Do not use OC1 Brake Cleaner on plastic components, painted or lacquered surfaces – the strong degreasing action may damage these materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Store the product at 5–25°C, away from heat sources and flames. Do not smoke while using the product. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Tip
For maximum effectiveness, use OC1 Brake Cleaner together with other OC1 products for complete vehicle care. After cleaning the brake system, it's also worth cleaning the chain with OC1 Chain Cleaner, then protecting it with a suitable lubricant. Remember that regular brake cleaning (especially after riding in harsh conditions) significantly extends component lifespan and ensures maximum safety.
Can I use OC1 Brake Cleaner on bicycle and motorcycle brakes?
Yes, the product is universal and works equally effectively on motorcycle and bicycle brake systems. It is safe for all types of disc and drum brakes, regardless of vehicle type. It works well with both mechanical and hydraulic brakes.
How often should I clean brakes with this product?
Cleaning frequency depends on riding conditions. After riding in mud, rain or very dusty terrain, cleaning after each ride is recommended. Under normal conditions, cleaning every 2–3 weeks is sufficient, or when you notice reduced braking effectiveness or pad squeal appears.
Is OC1 Brake Cleaner safe for carbon fibre?
Yes, the product has been tested and is completely safe for carbon fibre and all other materials used in modern brake systems, including anodised metal, ceramics, rubber and plastics in callipers.
Can I use this product on plastic or lacquered surfaces?
No, OC1 Brake Cleaner is a very strong degreaser and should not be used on plastic, painted or lacquered surfaces as it may damage them. The product is intended solely for cleaning metal brake system components and pads.
Does the product eliminate brake squeal?
Yes, OC1 Brake Cleaner contains special pad conditioning ingredients that reduce squeal and extend disc brake lifespan. If squeal results from contamination on the pad or disc surface, cleaning with this product should resolve the problem.
Do I need to wipe anything after applying the product?
No, OC1 Brake Cleaner evaporates quickly and leaves no marks or residue. Simply wait a few seconds until the surface is completely dry. No wiping or rinsing with water is needed.
How long must I wait before riding after applying the product?
The product evaporates very quickly – usually 10–30 seconds is enough for surfaces to be completely dry. Before riding, ensure all cleaned components are dry and no visible product residue remains.
Does one can last for many applications?
Yes, the 500 ml capacity provides enough for many cleanings. The exact number depends on vehicle size and contamination level, but on average one can is enough for 15–25 thorough cleanings of a complete motorcycle or bicycle brake system.
Can the product be used on wet brakes?
Although the product also works on wet surfaces, best results are achieved on dry brakes. Before application, drying components of excess water is recommended so the product can effectively dissolve contamination and evaporate properly quickly.
How should I store the product to maintain effectiveness?
Store OC1 Brake Cleaner at 5–25°C, in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources, sparks and flames. Keep the can upright, away from direct sunlight. After use, ensure the cap is properly closed.
Are protective gloves needed when using the product?
Wearing protective gloves is recommended, especially with frequent use. Although OC1 Brake Cleaner is safer due to the absence of chlorinated solvents, it is still a strong degreaser that can dry out skin. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Can I use this product to clean other motorcycle or bicycle components?
OC1 Brake Cleaner is intended mainly for brake systems, but can also be used for cleaning chains and other metal drivetrain components. However, for complete vehicle cleaning, dedicated OC1 products like Motorcycle Cleaner or Bike Cleaner work better, as they are safe for all surfaces.
