>Hi Tony!
        Are you stating that: "Some brands are worse on paint than others"
refering to silicone brake fluids Like DOT 5?   -Cosmo Kramer

No, the DOT 3's vary in how they attack paint.  The valvoline "synpower" 
synthetic brake
fluid (DOT 3) seems less harsh to the paint.

Also, there is so called DOT 5.1 (or is it 5.2) which is not silicone based, 
still attacks paint, but maybe less than DOT 3.
