i get my mate ian to do it when hes over, not sure how he does it though.

after a quick phone call to my mate, he uses wipes from the £££ shop there specially for that job so he tells me.

Screwfix do a 'silicone eater' product

do they cheers

ill have to check it doesnt eat my bodywork

you could cut it?

Tks

Get it outdoors first!
Get a cloth (old towel) soak in petrol and put over the offending area, keep it wetted, it normally reacts reasonably quickly, the silicone just gives up and can be removed with some light assistance.
Heat won't work.

I find that meths does the trick

as nick says there is a gel that you can buy from ceramic tile shop or diy place. should be fine on body work ive used it plastic baths and shower trays wih no problems

mark

I agree with Raz, meths generally shifts silicon sealant.
