Brake fluid question...stripping paint

[RyanGiorgio]

I just dumped my 350Z into a container of DOT-3 brake fluid. I rubbed my finger on the surface, and i already saw the paint come of onto my hand. Stuff works great. But, here is the question: How long should i leave it in the container for? Thanks.

BTW, did you go vote in the photoshop comp yet? If you havn't SHAME ON YOU!

How long should you leave it in there? The longer the better. Just to get the best results I leave it in there from about 4 days to a week, in the meantime, I start on another car.

And don't use any brake fluid above dot-3, such as racing brake fluid, first of all, it's expensive, and it'll ruin the plastic.

And just in case you're wondering, it doesnt ruin windshields. have fun
