Any automotive wax and grease remover should do the job (also formulated for
silicones). Follow the instructions on the can. PPG DX330 (Acryli-clean)
or DX440 (Wax and Grease Remover) are a couple examples that should be
readily available. If those do not work, perhaps the silicone has seeped
into the paint...? Perhaps you'll need to remove the paint down to the
substrate, reclean, and then try painting again. One thing that will work
is to clean the area in lacquer thinner. But that will certainly screw up
any existing paint and will be a mess.

Subject: [MV] Silicone Brake Fluid Vs. Paint
Anyone know of an effective method of cleaning silicone brake fluid spills
so the surface can be repainted?
Want to repaint the inside of the cab on my M35 but someone spilled silicone
fluid in there and the paint just beads up. Tried so called "silicone
removers" with little luck. Also tried various solvents from soap and water
to acetone. Can't get the paint to lay down smooth.
Thanks,
Ken
