Silicon removal, light film on edges

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

I have recently done a job where I have siliconed like normal after a job and have noticed that because the tiles have small dimple patterns on that Silicon has just stayed there. Also there is a light film down each side of the corner where the Silicon tool has left it.

Iv never had this issue before and need advice on removing Silicon. We have tried the Silicon cleaner from screwfix but nothing is coming off and friction isn't really doing it and because if the type of pattern I can't put a blade behind and peel it off

Does anyone know a sureway of removing the Silicon even if I have to remove all of the corner beads. I don't want to be buying loads of stuff and it not working

Any help would be great thanks
 
Not sure why the Screwfix Silicon remover hasn't removed the Silicon.....I have used it many times and prefer using it to other brands
 
I find sometimes the Silicon tools can leave a film which you can’t see until it gets dirty, unless you spray washing up liquid on whilst tooling
