Why not just wash it off with water? Brake fluid is water soluble is it not. Then you can use 20 gallons of high pressure hose pipe, then use some degreaser and wash again. Oh and the water is cheap!

I use brake cleaner (or I used to, anyway) as a general cleaner to get the rubber marks off of my race car. In my innocence, I tried to use it to get the bugs and gunk off of the lexan windscreen. T
