Default Removing junk under door molding

Bought a vehicle that has this junk under the door molding. I can get some of it with finger nail but going to take forever. Tried goo gone and wd40 no help. Any ideas to try without screwing up the paint? Not sure if it's just years of dirt or the molding glue seeped down.

Can ya post a picture ?

You can remove the molding with fishing line and kinda use it as a saw. Clean it up and reapply molding with silicon or leave the molding off if you like the look

Getting an error with the pic. It just looks dirty under the molding. Want to leave the molding on the vehicle. Just want to clean it off.
