Is there a solvent that removes clear silicone from glass? I have scraped the window and gotten off much of it, but much will not come off. I have tried soap and water, nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol. No luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul

A new single edge razor blade should take it right off.
I just built some shower doors, and used clear silicon to seal them. I used a razor blade to clean them, worked great for me.

Fingernail polish on glass,check it first to make sure it is not plastic etc.

A powerful (not watered down junk) citrus base cleaner that claims to clean gum, crayons, lables, etc. on the label. Goo Gone may work.
