I am having car repainted in the spring. Previous owner thought it would be a good idea to install all the weather stripping in silicone caulking. How do you get this stuff off? It has been on the car for about 20 years. I have tried laquer thinner, paint thinner, gasoline, MEK, fingernail polish remover, Goo-Gone, and nothing has worked. I am trying to keep from removing the paint. If the paint becomes dull, no big deal.
If anyone has any suggestions on what I can use to remove the caulking and residue, please let me know. Thanks for your help.
