Brake fluids are corrosive and will damage the lacquer surface on any paint job. If polishing doesn't help, respray the affected area with new lacquer. Consult a paint specialist.

Yeah, brake fluids is the last thing you want on your car paint. Wash it off real quick with lots of water and then polish and wax the area back.

when ur brakes feel spongy... this can be solved by bleeding ur brake lines, but if ur brake fluid use many many years adi, better change the whole thing la... safer... do one shot, faster mah...

brake fluid is the biggest enemy to paintwork, but easily loses out to water. due to its chemical content.

brake fluid is recommended to be changed every 20,000km. they tend to lose its chracteristics due to heat and vapour traps.

toyota for example recommends such practise and their brake fluid will change colour from clear to dark brown after 20,000km. that shows its time to replenish the fluid.
