Silicone caulk on my bumper
This weekend I was working on our sailboat with my dad. We were sealing some thru-bolts w/ a white silicone caulk.
In any case, I noticed today that there was a patch about the size of a quarter on my front bumper. It's very dry and hard, and I am not certain how to remove.
If I use gasoline, will I mess up the paint underneath? I am hesitant to scrape it and maybe ruin the paint...
Any help is appreciated...

Rep Power: 0 Woah, I dunno about gasoline... but if silicone gets anywhere it shouldn't, YOU SHOULD REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY!!!
I think WD-40 would remove it, but I'm not sure what it'll do to the paint of your car.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks. I actually used a sealant cleaner that came with my old toyota and it worked like a charm. Although it seems the silicone left the tiniest of flaws in the paint below. Completely imperceptible though unless you knew it was there.
