I didn’t want to hi-jack another thread, but the topic of Break Free CLP was broached. I have used the old Break Free and I know that the formula changed (or at least was presumed to have changed) somewhere along the line.
I had a supply of Break Free in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s but the stuff I had was already old at the time, so I assume it was the original formula. Sometime in the early 1990’s, I drifted away from the stuff and when I purchased it later, it was different. I can’t say when that shift took place because I used the old stuff until I ran out and then didn’t replace it for years. The labeling didn’t change, at least not at first, but the product seemed to change.
I will say the original Break Free I used was a decent product. When I went back to it years later, the labeling was similar, but the product was noticeably different. At that point I stopped buying it and went with Clenzoil. (Awesome product, by the way!)
The original Break Free had a distinctive odor that I can’t describe but it was a far better cleaner than the stuff that came later.
So – If the Break Free formula changed, when did that happen?
