Depends what it's stuck to mate.

If we are talking tiles or glass, Scraping with a sharp blade(when completely dry) is usually best.

If it's on a porous surface you could be bu99ered Dont know of any solvents, personally, but there must be something out there.

Dave,

for bathrooms, etc I would use a proprietry 'Silcone Eater' such as those in the the link below. I am sure you could get a version of this from the B&Q around the corner from you.

But please, please test it on a piece of dash that does not show, as I do not know how safe these would be on that. (I assume this is for the black silicone around the gauge pod )

Once you have removed the old silicone, if want it done again neatly just let me know

Neil, thanks for that link, I will order some.

yes it is for the pod there is none on the dash just on the pod itself, and I will take you up on doing it neatly for me if you don't mind

Cheers
