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.

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.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I agree with Raz, meths generally shifts silicon sealant.
