<div dir="ltr">Rick, I had the same issue. I soaked them in a bucket of water for 2-3 days then scraped as much off with my fingernails as possible. I soaked the remaining with goo-gone. It took a long time and many applications but I was eventually able to remove it. I also polished mine afterwards to get out any scratches that might have been there from the removal process.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div><br></div>
