[DeTomaso] Cleaning up brake fluid?

[Ed Mendez]

Lucky you, living close to one of the most epic tracks in the US. :-)

I used to live in Campbell and have been around that track on a Ducati Race Bike love that track.

Brake fluid sucks. I would use alcohol as water will leave moisture between the carpet and steel could cause oxidation and rust.

or rip it out and replace the carpet. Brake fluid will eat your paint so be careful.
