Default Brake Fade

Hey Ya'll

At Collie on the weekend, my kept experiencing Brake fade quite severe.
within 2 laps of the track 1st time out, by the last corner heading onto the straight, the pedal was just about at the floor & every run after that within 6 decent applications of the brakes, they were done.

Now im researching into which fluid to put back into the system as the fluid ive got atm
a. i dont know enough about it - it was from my old mans work ( renault ) as spare UNOPENED fluid.
b. It clearly isnt doing the job.

Im looking at this fluid.
Brake Fluids - Sport Evo 500++ Brake Fluid

It appears to be what im after.

Has anyone used this or can they recommend another fluid to get?

Now also When bleeding the brakes, the brembos have 2 Bleed nipples on the fronts - Am i supposed to bleed out of both sides?

Cheers
Dave
