face palm indeed! what grade silicone did you use? you can get silicone removers, but pretty sure they're chemical based and i can't say whether it will affect the paint.

i dont think i'd risk it if i'm honest. acetone and lots of elbow grease?

shotgun would indeed be a good way  :laugh: i think i'll respray the grill dragon green again and do it properly, a couple of nicks on it anyway. just gave her a full wax for the first time, it really shows up where the paint imperfections are.. nothing too bad tho.

Try a clay-bar kit on it, makes the paint feel like glass and then give it a coat of top quality wax and watch the water run off it.. :cool:
