RTV silicone on white paint! need suggestions
Hey there. Not actually 3rd gen related but I do own one! haha, anyways while I was doing the thermostat gasket on my car I wiped my hands on the back of my jeans (ya im a slob). Well I backed into our other car which is white and got some red silicone on the paint just a bit but very noticable. It is dry now and was wondering what is the best way to get this stuff off. Thanks in advance!

It's actually hard and stuck on to the paint. Wish I could just rub it off with my finger.

Rub harder then, or scrape it with your fingernail. One of the great things about silicone is that it doesn't really want to stick to anything.

i would think bug and tar remover would work. or some other real mild rubbing compound.

??? I can't believe you needed to post about this. srsly guy! 
Got fingernails? Or know a girl with fingernails? Just peel it off. Luckily it won't do any harm either way.
