Recent pulled my windshield to begin on the cowl repair. Just wondering what is good to clean up all that sticky factory black caulk? Would Acetone be any good? Just needing to get it stripped and clean again. Man, that stuff gets everywhere!
A screw driver and mineral spirits. Scrape as much off as you can...then clean it up with the spirits. There have been many posts over this nasty stuff over the years.
After dabbing it against it’s self to get the bulk I used gasoline and a rag. Acetone was too slow and too expensive.
I used pro form air intake cleaner after pulling off the heavy stuff. It melts it off real fast. Dont get it on any plastic or paint though. I have cans and cans of the stuff. Very handy.
I found gasoline to work the best. I made a little "bucket" out of an old laundry detergent bottle. Then, you know all those paint brushes you have lying around that just quite didn't dry the way you wanted? The old super hard ones? I found a new use for them. First I would brush on a coat of gasoline and let is soak a minute or two. Then use a clean rag and just scrub and scrub. Works wonderful. As long as you use new rags every so often.
