Default Brake Question

Hey what brake cleaner are you guys using? I went to the search function and all the resulting threads just talked about how dangerous they are if inhaled. I already knew that. So let me know what you guys are using, thansk

Are you talking brake parts cleaner? If so, I use whatever is at the auto parts store. I don't think it really matters as long as it dries without any film.
