Need to remove Silicon[e] spray
I need something to clean silicon spray from my carport so I can repaint.

I presume you mean silicone, Henry. This is impractical to chemically remove, so professional paint shops forbid it being brought into their buildings. I'd recommend detergent plus pumice ⇦[this on eBay or Amazon affil links] scrubbed over the surfaces with a tampico brush, and hoping for the best.

There are several silicone removers on market: Slide silicone remover is just one of them. One do it yourself mix:
10 ml dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid
8 ml dichlorometane
5 ml toluene
18 ml Xylene ⇦[this on
eBay or
Amazon affil links]
Hope it helps and good luck!
