Usually blue Dawn dish soap will strip off just about anything and it is cheap @ $2 for a bottle. The only thing to remember is to condition the rubber seals after a wash with it as it can dry out the rubber.
Now that there is some actual light and I can see what's going on, there are some watermarks underneath the sealer so looks like I'll have to take it off and redo it. Stuff seems pretty darn good so far.

That'll teach me to seal a black car practically in the dark lol

I need to mount one on the wall so I can good light down the side of the car. Maybe I will buy a single tube and see how it goes.

The ones he gave me are 2 foot strips. We are maxing them out by running a pair of strips per driver. I'm using four drivers and 8 strips. It's pretty bright.
