Re: removing SCHMUTZED on windshield caulk..help...!!

[Paul R Anderson <audistuff@juno.com>]

I wouldn't worry about getting it off.  Take it back to them and tell
them to.  Warn them ahead of time that if you can see where it was before
the removed it they can repaint the whole car.  If they don't want to,
you can give them your lawyer's name.

It might work.
