So, a guy on the range yesterday is praising "BreakFree PowerderBlast" not "Winchester Breakfree Powderblast" but the "real stuff." So, I'm in the local fun shop and figure, what the heck, I'll buy it. Get it home, blast the guns with it, and... Sure seems to me it smells and acts the same way as non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Is there any difference between PowerderBlast and NC brake cleaner? |

I noticed also that the Powder blast does not leave a white coating on the metal also.
The Powder Blast seem smell better when used in the house ( like citrus). I have noticed if I place a straw on the NC Brake cleaner and spray it thru the gas tube it cleans the gas tube a lot better than Powder blast. But I think the NC brake cleaner is to harsh for some surfaces. See the inner part (Where the barrel slides in) of the upper below, notice how the NC Brake cleaner discolored it permanetly. IMHO, NC Brake cleaner is alot stronger than Powder Blast. I have them both and have tried them both, be careful with the Brake clean. Brake Clean is good on the bolt and carrier and the gas tube and inside the barrel. YMMV Powder Blast is good on the other parts of the gun like the trigger group and where you don't want to harm some finishes. YMMV

| Brake cleaner does not leave behind any residue. Carb cleaner CAN but brake cleaner doesn't. You don't want any residue left behind when you clean your brakes right? I'm guessing that the brake cleaner is disolving oils better than the BreakFree and that's the residue that you are seeing. |

OR the flashpoint is just higher and the oils do not have enough time to run off. off topic, who oils rotors and brake shoes like a rifle. |
