Automotive Silicon on the Paint!

[Exidor]

Should be Sikaflex 252. Can only be removed mechanically.
You will need a caramel wheel, patience and time.

my cousin says get it down as much as you can then prepsol and use somethin soft to scrape it off then polish it.. sound alright?

Mate i used to work at holdens and have pulled many bodyside moldings off, the advice you were given (prepsol and polish) is exactly how we did it. They call it urethane inside the plant.
we used cheese cloth and a plastic podger (kind of a scraper) soaked in prepsol, it requires patience.


With a silver car be patient and careful.......

Why careful?
I used bug and tar remover and it slowly got it off, but i dunno wether its loosing duco though!

I think you answered your own question. You will end up rubbing through the clearcoat if you are not careful, take your time. A respray is not something you would want to be doing on a silver car.
