Yes, but there is a problem with silicone vs petrol or other based products.

For DOT 3 systems just use some gasoline or paint thinner. It's cheap and plentiful. SOME so called experts will throw a fit over the rcommendation of cleaning greasy brake linings with gasoline or thinner. I've done it so many times and actualy drove the vehicles myself many miles at high speed with excellent results and no failures.

My guess is that your Brake Cleaner in a bottle proabably has an alcohol, gasoline or Carbontetrachloride smell to it????? It has a reddish-brown hue to it???
