Question for all you strippers

Using DOT 3 brake fluid for the first time and was wondering if and how anyone cleans it after use, or dont you bother :confused:

I 've used DOT 3 also, recently , and it did a great job.

When you're done stripping it with a toothbrush, and all teh paint is off, what I did is place it in a bucket with detergent (tyhe model , that is ) and clean it with cloths that can be thrown away.

Then you can just leave your dirty brake fluid in it's container , for using it next time. it's dirty, ok, but it can be re-used several times (according to what I ve read! )

I didn't know that you could use brake fluid. I've been using thinner and stuff and that stuff just melts the plastic, so to get most of it off you really have to work hard.

Here's a great tutorial

Thanks Olivier. I'm going to save that and use it next time when I need it.
