can you just spray it on everything, including brakes, springs, etc. without any harm?

I'd assume so, but quoting for a ... quote?

Edit: Bought some today anyway, will post results if necessary.

yes you can.

on brakes and wheels would be ideal.

you would be better off using an all purpose cleaner on the suspension, tires, wheel wells.

The fact that the user is wearing gloves causes me to think it can do harm

This product contains no acid.

Just received in the mail, super fast shipping. Then again, I live in Brooklyn, so you guys aren't too far away. Will post results!

Edit: And here are some photos and results from my own experience.

Here's 2 days worth of brake dust, with the stubborn caked on stuff beneath:




Step 2, The weapons:




Ready, set, fire (my wheels are bleeding):




Final result:




And in for a closer look:




Overall, I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping for. Lots of great reviews of the stuff. Sure, it did make the wheel cleaning process significantly faster, the majority of recent brake dust and dirt came right off with some very light scrubbing. Having used PS21 wheel cleaner for a while, maybe my viewpoint is skewed, because that stuff does a great job too, although definitely requires more scrubbing.

Will I use this stuff again? Maybe, but only if there's a LOT of baked-on dust requiring the extra work. It stinks and you can get a lot of bright red stains (thats what she said) all over you from the end-result. Don't let my experience sway you, it's just an opinion. I'm sure I wasn't the ideal example. Those specks have been caked on for a year without hope.
