When i fitted my side skirts a year ago, i used sealant along the top of each to prevent them rattinling and give a better finish.

Now i've removed my skirts only to be left with lines of sealant on my car!!

What can i use to remove this??? Dont really wanna ruin paint under neath tho!!!

cheers in advance

tar remover won't work on silcone based products like sealant... you will have to find a product which desolves silcon and hope for the best...

otherwise pick it off with your thumbnail..

go to your local paint supplier and ask for an eraser wheel more commonly known as a caramel wheel goes in end of drill and removes silincone etc without ruining paint
