Brake fluid can be highly damaging to a paint job, as it contains corrosive chemicals that can break down the paint's protective layers. When spilled or splashed on a vehicle's surface, it can cause discoloration, dullness, and even peeling of the paint. If not cleaned promptly, the damage can become severe, potentially requiring repainting to restore the affected area. Therefore, it's crucial to handle brake fluid carefully to protect your vehicle's finish.
