Oil-Flo is good stuff. I would use some talcum powder and steel wool.

Oil flo is good for removing glue etc but it wouldnt work at all on the silicon i had. The large 3ftx18"panes took about 20min each but there were lots of silicon marks- messy builders  :'(

Not if you use fine triple zero or 0000 guage, its on the packet. Wont scratch glass but makes a mess of plastic or viynl
