I`m just starting to detail my Jeep but I have one small spot of RTV on my seats that continually bothers me. It`s a fabric seat so I`m worried about using WD40 to brake cleaner since I don`t want to stain it. Any advice?

ther is a spray on gasket remover used to remove RTV/silicone

but I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT WILL DO TO THE FABRIC sorry

I have the same worry about what cleaning chemicals will do to the fabric. I was considering heating it up with a hair dryer and trying to get it tacky to get it off. Has anyone else dealt with this before?

good idea

but the temp range of most RTV is: -75°F to 625°F

Try dry ice. Isn`t it typically colder than -75? (note - I am not positive on this, just asking the question)

yes good call

also it turns to a gas as it melts so ther would be no cleanup
