That reminds me that the old Castrol Girling Crimson brake fluid used to be an excellent paint stripper, but it hasn't been in the shops for decades. I used to use it for stripping oil paints from polystyrene models prior to repainting. None of its replacements had any significant effect. Is DOT3 a commercial vehicle product?
