5200 is a bit(h to get off no matter what you use. The "5200" Remover works, but it's still a lot of elbow grease involved.
Good luck.

5200 is not "glue" or "caulk". It is mega-strength polyurethane and it will bond itself to just about anything, including mirror polished stainless steel, plastics, and it even tries to stick to greasy surfaces.
Adhesive remover is only a tiny bit better than nothing.
Anti-bond was expressly designed to kill 5200. But it's like wallpaper remover. You gotta razor blade off the bulk of it, then work from the edges inward with the AntiBond. But it WILL get it.
