Removing silicone

Postby skathed » Sun Jun 02, 2013 11:54 am

Last owner used transparent silicone to put a wind deflector on the drivers side door. Since it was damaged i decided to take it off. Does anyone know if or what is the most effective way to remove the silicone that stuck on the car?

soak it in petrol, it will swell and eventually come off.

Also use an old credit card/flybys card etc to scrape at it without ruining paint work.

Its on the plastic/chrome surround on the window. I'll try your suggestions once rain is non-existent. Cheers.
