Uh.. Brake fluid on my paint.

Is there any way to get brake fluid off my truck? Looks pretty nasty.

About a month ago my brake line broke and got splattered brake fluid up on my door. I tried goo-gone w/o any luck.

Is there anything else I should try?

I think brake fluid totally destroys paint. I got some on mine too, never been able to remove it.

Unfortunately that will be a permanent mark.....it chemically alters the paint so the color changes.

It depends on what kind of paint you have. if you have clear coat ontop of the color layer you can usually buff that out.

If you do NOT have clear, then your hosed as the brake fluid has eaten into the color coat.
