House Caulking

[Znig22]

I will have a paint correction and interior detail coming up on this 2013 hunter green F350 after our deer hunting season here in SC and after speaking with my customer today he is worried about this home caulking tube that exploded down the side of his truck after running it over on accident.

Just briefly today I tried: goo gone, acetone, and then gun and equipment stripper in that sequence. With no improvement but did not want to hurt the clear so no heavy rubbing was done. Can someone help guide me in the much needed direction.

Thanks

I would think APC and your fingernail would remove it?

When all else fails grab the 3M Adhesive Remover

Try TarX, that stuff is amazing at how well it'll take stuff off. I've had it dissolve hard baked on tar that nothing else would touch. (It did take more than one application, but it has always worked.)

If all else fails, rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball

Nothing that an automotive lacquer thinner could not take care of

.... and before you get all scared, clear coats today are catalyzed urethane and are extremely resilient and lacquer thinner won't hurt it

I have some great advice but before purchasing all of these can I have a little input on which will work quicker then the rest. There is a ton of this stuff to have to deal with.

Sounds like a job for Mr Suggs.

I'm going to need a loan to remove this stuff.

Have you (by any chance) tried WD40. May be your first cheap and safe step?!?

I'm going to need a loan to remove this stuff.

If this stuff is giving you that much trouble it's not caulk

What do you mean a loan?

[Znig22]

I'll try the Wd-40, the customer mentioned he tried a product called dx400 from a friend of his at a body shop and it did a little bit of removal but I've never heard of it.

By needing a loan I'm not trying to tie up a 100 bucks in removing this.

Just asking...do you know if this is a "urethane" caulking?

I among sure Bill, all I know is he was pulling into a job site and ran it over and then it slung from the tread of his tires down the side and I can't get any results while trying to remove it. I will have another run at it tomorrow so any suggestions would be great. What do you think about Gasoline? It scares me think of it.

Kerosene has more cleaning power than gasoline.....

But if you plan on lighting the caulk/gasoline and burning it to a crisp, then either would do (PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!!)

Lol I'm sure that would be a site for idiots. A new way to perfect your paint, Burn it!
