The desire of this or that car owner to save on the repair of his “iron horse” is quite understandable, especially in our difficult time. Some handy drivers
It is clear that the components of the braking system are among the most stressed and worn parts of a car. Therefore, such important elements as steel discs must be replaced periodically. For this, most drivers turn to professionals from technical centers, but there are also many who replace the brake discs on their car themselves.
True, as service practice shows, such garage repairs are far from always carried out according to the rules, which subsequently leads to a sharp decrease in the efficiency of the braking system. And the main reason for such problems is the protective coating of the discs.
Remember that new brake discs always undergo a special treatment during the final stage of production, in which they are coated with a layer of preservative grease. Its task is to prevent corrosion during transport and storage of components. It’s just that – smooth and shiny – that we see discs after purchase and unpacking. This is all good, but all the grease that remains on the surface of the “pancakes” after installation on the car can do much more harm than rust.
This lubricating “preservative”, if not removed, can easily soak into the tread of the brake pads and leave them greasy for a long time. Such a mistake made by the car owner during self-repair, if in fact the irresponsibility of a mechanic from a car repair shop who “forgot” to clean the wheels will immediately come back.
You can be sure – after this, the braking efficiency of the car will deteriorate sharply. After all, the working friction between the discs and the “greasy” brake pads will noticeably decrease. Therefore, a properly trained car mechanic who replaces brake discs will never install these parts on a car without completely degreasing them.
By the way, as the practical experience of the test editors of the AvtoVzglyad portal shows, such a technical procedure takes no more than five minutes, provided that special (usually aerosol) brake cleaners are used for this. There are plenty of such products in our market, including both domestic and imported formulations.
At the same time, such aerosols can be quite different in their properties of action. This is also confirmed by the results of comparative tests, which are periodically conducted by the AvtoVzglyad portal. Therefore, the choice of such autochemical products should be approached thoroughly and, if possible, first read reviews about them.
So, among the drugs that have been positively assessed by most experts, we can note, for example, the products of the Turkish brand DVX. The DVX Aerosol Cleaner has a number of performance features that set it apart from similar products. In addition to the fact that the cylinder forms a powerful jet, for ease of use it is equipped with a special spray element that allows you to process hard-to-reach places of brake mechanisms.
The cartridge has a valve system, which during operation allows turning the container in any position, including “upside down”. This feature is appreciated by both professionals and car owners who take care of their car themselves. Incidentally, DVX aerosol can also be used as a universal degreaser, for example when repairing an engine or other “oiled” machine parts.
