Tin you not manage to 'peel' a bit more of it abroad? Fifty-fifty with a sharp blade?Dissolving cured silicones is extremely hard work, peculiarly large lumps like you have there. To achieve it, as it sits, would likely put your paint at adventure so I would definitely recommend trying the manual approach before going to more than chemical methods.

Dissolving it will take a looong time. Estrus gun, advisedly blading and peeling it off is your all-time deal.

Re: Removing silicone from paint
Are you certain it's silicone? Kind of looks like perhaps wheel begetting grease to me, or something similar to the stuff that somebody at the Honda dealer put in the sliding door tracks of my mom's Odyssey when information technology was in for a repair. Still scratching my head over that ane. That looked like this:
It was on the sliding track and the inside top of the sliding door (both doors). The only matter that worked for me (and didn't damage the paint) was rubbing alcohol (I used a 70% solution undiluted) and lots of microfiber towels. I think I went through at least a dozen. Go buy some cheap ones from Wal-Mart or Target, because you lot will accept to throw them away. Note that this method notwithstanding took a while.
This is just my guess. I could be wrong. If it is silicone, I would attempt heating information technology with a rut gun and getting off what yous can with a plastic razor blade, so effort the rubbing alcohol. Either way, promise y'all go it fixed!

I picked upwardly a production a couple of years ago...De-Solv-It (brand) "Contractors Solvent" at my local Ace Hardware. The stuff DID remove silicone caulk (every bit it said it would). Equally I wait at the bottle, $7.99.Just to add, I was working on the shower doors (that I installed) and then I knew that the caulking was indeed silicone.

Re: Removing silicone from paint
That might not exist silicone. It may be a polyurethane adhesive. If information technology is, it's going to be even harder than silicone to remove. This is what 3M recommends to remove one of their automotive poly adhesives:You might even be able to try this:If sealant is already cured, removal is done mechanically with razor knife, piano wire,
sanding or 3M� Scotch-Brite� Molding Adhesive and Stripe Removal Disc. This
disc is available from 3M Automotive Aftermarket Sectionalisation
