    Hey guys,

    Well I replaced my uncles brake caliper and I guess when I put in in the bed to go to the store some fluid got on the bedside. i did get a wash last night luckily, but today I noticed this....paint wrinkled about 1/4" circle and left a smudge around :eek:...

    Anything I can do? Thanks...

    Its hard to tell from the pic, but brake fluid will cut right thru the clear coat. You might want to stop by a body shop and see if they think it could be wet sanded out and buffed. I'm talking like 1000 grit then 1500 then buff and wax.

    Not if you washed it good. Its kinda like bad bird shit. It eats while its there, then when its washed its gone and left its mark.
    I saw a guy pour a whole bottle on some guys car once, the guy took it to a car wash 3 days later and it blew the paint right off. (They were fighting over some bitch)
