How To Remove Carbon From Intake Valves & Turbos Using CRC GDI IVD® Intake Valve & Turbo CleanerGDI engines deliver increased power, performance and gas mileage. GDI, or gas direct injection engines, are great engines but they need a bit more periodic maintenance. If you drive one of these vehicles, this is important. Because of their design these engines need treatment with CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve and Turbo Cleaner every 10,000 miles. Here’s why. In traditional port fuel injection or PFI engines, the gasoline washes over the valves, cleaning them in the process. In GDI engines, gasoline is injected directly into the cylinder so it never comes in contact with the intake valves. Without that constant cleaning action, harmful carbon deposits build up on the valves. The result is reduced performance and loss of power. Chunks of carbon can even break off and cause damage to engines and other components. Some methods of removing the carbon involve costly labor- intensive processes. CRC solves this problem easily and affordably with its GDI IVD Intake Valve and Turbo Cleaner, which safely dissolves the carbon deposits without requiring engine teardown. It’s also proven to clean turbo impellers for better turbo performance. Use it every 10,000 miles or before every oil change. Do it yourself or have it done by your local service center. The result will be improved performance and longer engine life for your vehicle.
CRC BRAKLEEN® Brake Parts Cleaner Instructional VideoPart of doing a brake job right is making sure that all brake surfaces and components are clean. Brakleen brake parts cleaner, from CRC Industries, quickly and easily removes brake dust, grease, oil and road grime. The original aerosol brake parts cleaner; Brakleen has been the number one choice of automotive technicians and do-it-yourselfers for more than 40 years. CRC Brakleen is easy to use and does most of the work for you!
Simply wet down the surfaces that need cleaning by spraying in short bursts at a distance of roughly 18 to 24 inches. Make sure to avoid getting overspray on plastic, rubber or painted surfaces. After all surfaces are wetted, continue spraying to remove contaminants. Use a wire brush to clean the caliper housing and backing plate to remove all dirt and dust. Let the parts air dry after an application, or wipe down with a clean rag. It’s possible that heavy deposits of grime may require a repeat application.
The chlorinated formula in the red can is the most powerful Brakleen available. CRC also offers multiple Brakleen formula options to meet any state regulations and requirements. If you’re installing new brakes, Brakleen can also be used on the new rotors to remove the protective oil they use in packaging.
Use CRC Brakleen on rotors, hub and rotor contact points, on the caliper assemblies, brake linings, cylinders, drums, CV joints, clutches, springs, bolts, fasteners and all brake hardware. Once all your brake parts are clean and new parts are installed, apply Silaramic Brake System Grease from CRC. It protects all moving caliper hardware and backing plates and any mating surfaces from dirt and corrosion.
Be sure to use CRC Brakleen Brake Parts Cleaner is the product preferred by automotive techs, for a brake job done right!

CRC Battery Cleaner and Battery Terminal Protector Instructional VideoBattery Cleaner with Acid Indicator from CRC Industries, helps quickly identify acid leaks, and cleans and removes corrosion on car batteries. Clean battery terminals improve the connection and maximize a vehicle’s electrical system performance. You may or may not see visible corrosion as whitish or bluish deposits on the battery posts, and you can experiences rough starts, or the vehicle won’t start at all.
To apply CRC Battery Cleaner, remove the negative terminal connection first, followed by the positive terminal. Using a wire brush, remove any corrosion that has accumulated around the posts. Avoid contact between the disconnected terminals and posts. Shake the can well and spray the product liberally over the battery surface, terminals and posts, and any visibly corroded areas. The yellow foaming cleaner turns a pink color if battery acid is present. Technicians know this is a powerful visual for customers. Allow the cleaner to soak for a few minutes. Use a wire brush if necessary to remove heavy deposits and then rinse with water. Another application is recommended to ensure that all acid has been removed, and another rinse is needed. Reconnect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal.
A battery that is clean and free of corrosion will ensure easier starting, maximum current flow and longer battery life. After reconnecting the battery, you’ll want to follow with an application of CRC Battery Terminal Protector.
Shake well and apply an even coat to hold-downs, bolts, brackets and terminals. CRC Battery Terminal Protector is lead-free and provides a long-lasting protective film coating. The product is red in color when you first apply it and, the red dye will fade over time, letting you know when it’s time to reapply.
Clean and protect your vehicle’s battery with Battery Cleaner with Acid Indicator, and Battery Terminal Protector from CRC Industries, for easier starting, improved current flow and longer battery life!

CRC Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Cleaner Instructional VideoMost fuel-injected vehicles are equipped with a mass air flow sensor, or “MAF” sensor to measure the amount and density of air entering the engine. This is information the computer uses to determine how much fuel to inject into the engine for combustion as air enters the cylinders. Ignition timing is also affected. The MAF sensor wire gets dirty with accumulated debris, oil, air filter fibers, dust and pollen. This can cause inaccurate readings and negatively affect the air to fuel ratio.
Signs of a dirty MAF sensor could be a check engine light. You may experience a loss of power, stalling, rough idle. Your engine may also be running rich and producing excess emissions. The original Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner from CRC Industries is a unique precision cleaner specifically developed to clean sensitive components in MAF sensors without damaging or degrading plastic or painted surfaces.
Use CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner with the engine off. Always wear gloves and eye protection, and insert the straw into the nozzle before an application. Remove the air filter to gain access to the MAF sensor located between the air box and the throttle body. It is recommended that you remove the sensor for best cleaning, but it’s not absolutely necessary. Place a towel under the MAF to catch any run-off. Using the straw attachment, apply 10 to 15 short bursts of CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner to the hotwire or the hot plate. Be careful not to let the straw, or anything else come in contact with hotwire. Keep the end of the straw 4 to 5 inches from the hotwire. Be sure to spray all sides of the MAF sensor and clean all wires and connectors. Reassemble the MAF and allow to dry thoroughly before restarting the engine.
Often, technicians will try to use throttle body, carburetor, or brake parts cleaners to clean sensitive MAF sensor components. However, these aggressive cleaners can be damaging to plastic, which most MAF sensors are housed in today. If the plastic degrades or warps, the MAF hotwire can shift and malfunction, resulting in expensive repairs. Use only the original Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner from CRC Industries to safely clean the delicate components of the sensor. Regular use will restore horsepower, reduce rough idle, decrease hesitation and pinging and improve gas mileage.
