I tell customers "time to rot" and they seem to be OK with that.

Maybe Magica two or three goes might burn it off?

It's very hard stuff to remove no magic jungle juice will shift it.. The best way I find is pre spray with your choice of liquid and use a 10" squeegee on a pole but remove the rubber and use it as a scraper.. As normal glass scrapers are to sharp and dig into the fascia boards.. It's a real hard job so price it slightly more than normal..
