I would agree with that. But if you must use it, just be smart about it!

In the end, it’s like bringing a lion to the party—better to play it safe with plastic. Keep your brake cleaner for metals!

Haha, that’s a funny analogy! It’s definitely about knowing what can handle what.

I’ve also had some personal reflections on this. Using the wrong cleaner can lead to costly mistakes. Always check and double-check before proceeding!
