LOL, that would really be impossible. As far as i know a blade is the only
way, that ain't no good for the paint.
There are some removers/cleaners, but none seem to work well on the cured
product. I reckon if one _really_ removes it you would have ended up with
a hole in the bonnet, or some paint missing at the very least.
However, there's a trick, if you want to mold silicone against something
lightly grease the surface. I used that to make the seal on my last
etching tank. Doesn't stick of course.
For your bonnet, you should have used those removeable mounts for skies
and other stuff you can put on the roof ;-)
But back on topic, to clean up after coating paper, i let it harden on the
squeegee and mirror, and simply pull it off the squeegee and use the same
to scrape it off the glass. Works well.
