Post by: graeme on September 07, 2009, 10:22 PM: I use silicone sealant all the time at work. I dont understand how that wouldnt just make a complete mess.

Would it not have been better to use a silicone polish, like for car dashes etc?

Ahhhh.

I wouldnt be surprised if a silicone polish would help though, it is designed for dull plastics :)
