Looking for advice for removing a stain from ABS plastic - DOT 4 brake fluid leaked and stained a bright yellow BMW Motorcycle Fairing.

The fairing is made of a high grade ABS plastic, the color is not paint it appears to run through the material. I've tried removing with cleansers with no success. Polishing with a fine abrasive helped but did not completely remove the stain. The fairing plastic did not bubble - but you can still see the stain drip marks beneath the master front brake cylinder.

Any Ideas?

Can you post up some pics please? In my experience chemical stains, specifically on plastic/plastic type materials, unfortunately are usually permanent.

But there are several drip mark stains beneath the master cylinder (mounted on the handlebar) -
immediately above and to the left of the round BMW insignia, as you are looking at these pictures 68844
