What to do about spilled brake fluid on paint?

My car has clear bra on the front portion of the hood and unfortunatley i had some brake fluid dripping on the hood and part of the clear bra.

Just wodnering what if anything would be good to use on the paint and or clear bra

There isn't much paint damage as we didn't let it sit there too long but there is a little area that you can notice and slight drip marks.

Sorry for the poor description i'll try and get a pic up soon.

Thanks

You're supposed to rinse in off with water as soon as it happens. Wiping it with spread it and usually cause more damage. But from what you stated, it sounds like the damage has already been done.

Best I can think of is to possibly wetsand/buff the area.

Try simple green cleaner, spray nine, or just soap and water.
