Here's my issue, one of my kids sprayed sealer on the side of my garage, on the vinyl siding. It's clear but it can be seen.

How can I remove it? Simply scrubbing doesn't seem to work, but I can't scrub hard as that will scratch the siding.

Maybe a solvent of some kind that won't melt the siding?

Thanks for any help, Xin

What brand of sealer? And what formulation? (Lacquer, etc.)

If it's a gloss sealer, you could always try to cover it with a matte or satin sealer?

This is if removing it would cause more damage.

Why not just spray the whole side of the garage wth the stuff? Then it won't be seen – and it'll also protect your garage!

Try Simple Green to start with on a small section. See if there is any negative reaction. If that doesn't work, try Superclean the same way.
