Silicone Removal Suggestions?

The guy who owned my '71 Scamp before me must have had stock in 3M...all my window trim is caked in silicone. I'm hoping to pick up some suggestions on removing the silicone without damaging the trim.

On a secondary note, I'm not sure if the window trim is stainless or chrome. Is there an easy way to tell? I don't want to put buffing compound on this stuff and rip through chrome.

Any suggestions (except from Scamp360) are welcome. (He'll just tell me to use bacon grease. :bootysha:)
