Oh come on, buddy... :panic:

If you use BRAKE CLEANER to CLEAN your BRAKES and then your brakes don't function properly, you fucked up.

I use brake cleaner all the time. It's an excellent solvent.

Many parts shops will use brake cleaner as a general parts cleaner. In fact, the guy who owns the local GMD Computrack uses brake cleaner to clean all the parts of forks/shocks when he does a rebuild/oil/seals.

instantly takes paint off, makes powdercoat look dull. no bueno

You sure you're not thinking of brake FLUID??? Brake cleaner isn't corrosive like that...
