Default OUCH!!

Just took the car out of storage and needed to add a little brake fluid. Was very careful, watched very carefully and didn't see a drop fall. Turned around to set the can down and grab a rag. When I got around looking at the car again, after less than a minute a drop of fluid must have fallen and ran down the fender. That stuff eats thru paint quicker than laquer thinner. Tried to buff out, but it is scared for life until repainted. Original paint too! Word to the wise, always always use a fender cover.
