Aren't the proprietary disc brake cleaners just isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which can be brought much cheaper than the proprietary stuff. It's what I use to clean my pads (disc and rim brake) along with rotors and rims if they're really grotty.
Probably, but the only place I could get that from on the way home was Maplin, where a 400ml can was £9.99 vs £4.99 for 250ml Evans brake cleaner.
Seems to have done the job anyway.
