I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH SIGNAL INTEGRATED MIRRORS. THE GLASS BROKE AND THE FLUID DRAINED OUT ONTO THE DOORS. I CAN'T SEEM TO REMOVE THE FLUID STAINS FROM THE DOORS. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT TYPE OF FLUID IT IS AND MAYBE HOW TO REMOVE IT IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING TO PAINT THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
THANK YOU

I am not sure of the fluid type but try using a adhesive solvent or just soap and water. Make sure that it would remove paint like varsol
