Pros: none
Cons: price
"Paid the exhorbitant price for this parafin smelling jelly. Applied as directed and waited...tried to scrape - no difference. Waited some more, then more, and yet more.......Save your money and go elsewhere. This product did NOT do what it claimed in 20, 40, 60 mins or 2 hours."

Cons: doesn't remove silicone
"Removed all but a minimal skin of silicone in a few places from around a bath. Applied this stuff as directed and left in on for 30mins. It made no difference to the tiny amount of silicon. No amount of scraping with a hard plastic scraper moved it. Back to a knife blade to remove the remaining. Added bonus was that after washing it off it had stained some of the grout used on mosaic tiles a faint pink. A devil to get out.
Its going back."
Its going back."

"It's no silver bullet but it does do the job... I used it to remove the sealant from my new worktops:
Basically you need to:
1) remove as much sealant as you can, without damaging your worktop, using a craft knife first.
2) put an inch of this jelly on your finger and smear it over the remaining sealant.
3) wait 20-30 minutes and scrape (I used an old credit card). It comes off as a mucky paste.
4) repeat steps 1 to 3 above 2 or 3 times for areas where there was a lot of sealant..."
