I would add that you will have the best results and use the least about of remover if you take the time to mechanically remove/peal as much of the silicone as possible. The 3M Adhesive Remover can them be used to just remove the residue.
Anybody have any experience with the 3m adhesive remover and its effects on other silicone products like the residue from dielectric grease or Armour-All? Even some kids toys are made from silicone gel (creepy crawlers and splat balls). They can leave a residue on the walls that is impossible to clean or paint.
