Neil, 

I use plain ole water in a spray bottle.  It's the best method to neutralize brake fluid.

Cheers, 

Jeff

Subject: WD40 Diplace or Wash Off Brake Fluid?

Hi all.

I'm sure I'm not the first to do this so....

I bench bled a new brake master cylinder with a pressure bleeder then while doing the R&R I managed to leak brake fluid down onto wires at dash.

I'll try to "wash off" the brake fluid from wires with WD40 but as does water, does WD40 actually displace brake fluid?
Or would I be better off using electrical contact cleaner for this?

Thanks

Neil.
