Factory sealant

Hello everyone
Can someone please tell what Keystone uses when they factory seal the 5th wheel seams on the front and sides. We bought 2011 Mountaineer new from the dealer in June and it had been in their lot, to RV shows etc. for over a year. Any other Rv I've owned had proflex or some other kind of white sealant where ever needed on the trailer. Our trailer is sealed with clear silicone for some reason that is now dirty after one season and will not clean up. I pretty sure the dealer resealed the unit with the wrong stuff but want to confirm.
Thanks for your responses.

Mine is factory sealed with silicone. You can not use any kind of sealant over top silicone, not even silicone. Will not stick to its self. You have to remove ALL silicone to reseal.

Thanks guys, I have begun the task of removing the silicone and thinking about resealing with proflex, it will look much better and clean up nicer.

Update
Well we are near the 90 day exterior warranty and brought the unit in for some warranty work (new front decals, slide toppers, interior trim work, counter tops) so I mentioned I was not happy with silicon sealant. One of the techs came out and totally agreed with me. My dealer has now submitted a warranty claim to have the whole trailer re sealed with the proper stuff,,,fingers crossed.
