Things i wish i knew before buying a fixer upper car is all the chemicals involved. Just one sniff of the brake cleaner and the rest of the day is gone. Probably some IQ ponis down the drain too. Should've just bought a tesla and be done with it...

Brake cleaner is the worst, the others are pretty much okay as long as you avoid exposure. ATF, Oil, etc - just wear proper PPE :)

You'll need brake cleaners for Tesla brakes too. Less of it since you change the brake pads and rotors less often but it'll still be used.

A few guys I watch on YouTube repair cars with a mask on when they spray brake cleaner.

  Note, the type of mask is pretty important. An n95 for particulates isn’t going to stop vapors nearly as well.

    You can’t use n95 masks for toxic gases. These are what I would call paint respirators mask. It’s like a gas mask but doesn’t go over the face fully.

Just use the non chorinated stuff, way less harsh.
