Is WD40 better than Brake Cleaner?
It depend on what you want to do with it. For some things yes but to blast muck and old grease away quickly from metal surfaces brake cleaner is hard to beat.
WD do no harm to hoses, rubber, o rings, plastic. Moog recommends it for installing their failed rubber boots. keep in mind that almost nothing is made of 100% natural rubber anymore and the solvent part of WD is not a hot solvent, if anything its closer in solvency to prep sol than super hot lacquer thinner or acetone.
