No, read the post the whole post and nothing but the post....THEN read between the lines! I know I do have a tendency to expect people to do that, but I kind of expect most people on this group to be OK with it. So far none of the regulars has exhibited the stupid gene. Plenty of people with the grumpy old men gene though....;-) From personal experience I know silicone remover works well on ceramic tiles, etched glass and an acrylic shower tray. i.e. it gets it off without damaging any of the aforementioned materials. It may damage car paintwork, but then if you don't use silicone remover, without actually sanding the paintwork I can't see any other way of doing it. Silicone is a bl*%dy nightmare to remove and there would definitely be a tell tale shadow on the area affected if you just picked it off. Maybe if his 4yr old had done a nice bead instead of a smear he would be better off. Four year olds, again in my personal experience, are not that clever or accommodating! At a guess I reckon he'd be OK with the remover, but then that's what putting a post up is all about isn't it? Get lot's of ideas and pick those you judge to be the best. I'm guessing with advice from other posters above here he'll try it on a discrete under the boot floor area first to see if it has a detrimental effect. BTW, silicone remover needs to be left on for HOURS, left it overnight, after carefully removing the big lumps with a Stanley knife... Cheers for now Al P.S. OP sorry but my newsreader has lost the original post now, so if you're a she not a he, my sincere apologies!
