Brake fluid question

["John L. Walker" <up497@freenet.victoria.bc.ca>]

Is there anything I can use to clean spilled brake fluid off my sheet 
metal (permanently)

I think that fluid has leaked in the past and caused some nasty holes in 
my scuttle- the brake fluid cleans the metal, which proceeds to rust 
happily :(

My brother the painter suggest I use TSP (tri sodium phosphate), I figure 
this should work but it too is mildly corrosive. (or is it?)

Thanks in advance,
-Malcolm
