there is a few bumpy bits round the windows it were the silicone has spread and has got ground on dirt it looks a mess and wont wash off theres no probs no damp there just dirt

do we scrape it off and clean with white spirit will that be ok or is there something eles to use

To remove silicone sealant, you can buy special silicon remover from screwfix or any hardware, white spirit will also work, but can affect paintwork so test a small area first. And after using white spirit always give a good polish back to the paint work as it will strip it.

If the silicone was put there, around the wimdow rubber? I'm inclined to think its to seal something, so removing it completely may open up an old leak? I would play safe, remove and reapply, to make a cleaner job of it. Unless you are planning to reaseal the windows, and do a proper job of it?

we have had a quote from mobile repair for a separate damp spot and he said the sealand had jut spread in hot wether over time and got grubby and to just clean it up its on all windows , just very dirty but its like glued on

i think we will remove and reapply to be safe

yep i think ill try that the toothbrush and cream cleaner i dont want to cause damp there too
