Brake-Kleen can harm/fade some paints. Do not use it on fresh paint as it will dissolve it. You also have to watch it around clear plastics as it can etch or cloud them.
Also it is different than the degreaser you buy. Degreaser is made to be washed off with water later. It is usually alkali based. Brake-Kleen is petroleum based and evaporates off. Leaving things ready for sealers and painting.
As for shops using a lot of it. Well I do too. If I am charging so much per hour to work on some thing I can't be wasting time fooling around with products that take lots of time to clean things up. An example would be a hydraulic valve body. Usually I can clean it up with a brush and spray parts cleaner pretty quickly. I do not have to worry about the cleaner having grit or other things in it.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
