What works best to remove paint I see that guys use brake fluid does it really work

[Miatatom]

What kind of paint are you trying to remove?

[Art Anderson]

DOT-3 brake fluid will strip most any paint off of a styrene body, and almost always with little or no damage to that kind of plastic. However, it's sheer death to resin bodies.

Of course, as with any petroleum based product, proper disposal is a must, not just simply tossing it in the trash.

Will brake fluid affect glued parts? You know, like unglue the parts?

If the model is glued together with a solvent-type glue, then no, brake fluid has no effect. Solvent glues actually melt the plastic and fuse the two parts together.
