I used a razor blades. U can by them by the pack. After i got most of the heavy stuff off i cleaned it with a paint thinner or reducer and went to Walmart and got some clear silicone and called it a day. Need to let it dry real good before mounting tires back on. Havent had any issues with mine yet.
