Are you talking about BrakeFree or aerosol carb cleaner?
BrakeFree is the commercial verion of CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant) that the military uses, it is very good stuff, and does exactly what the name implies.
Carb cleaner (I think the same stuff is also packaged as brake parts cleaner) should be used sparingly and only for "deep cleaning", as it will take all of the oil (and I do mean ALL of it) off of your parts, making it neccessary to recondition them by oiling and heating to regain the lubricity your firearm requires.
