Default Will brake cleaner ruin powder coat?

I just had the outside of my Canton oil pan powder-coated and I need to clean the inside for dust and God knows what else. The inside of the pan was spotless before I dropped it off at the painter. It's not too nasty, but I'm hesitant to use just plain soap, water and compressed air, as I don't want any potential rust to form in the nooks and crannies of this Canton pan.



I love using this stuff for parts cleaning (awesome performance, dries fast and leaves no residue) but can't find any literature regarding if it attacks powder coat finishes? Since many high performance brake calipers are powder coated, I'd have to think it's safe.

Would prefer to hear inputs on CC before I start testing a small area. And we all know what brake fluid will do to paint.

Thanks,

-Dean
