Aging caulk

Anyone tackled re-doing the caulk around the rub rail? I've noticed mine is starting to age in a few places on my 2011 and since I am a spouse-diagnosed OCD sufferer, I am considering removing it and running new beads. Is the easiest way to remove the old stuff with a straight blade razor (Obviously VERY carefully)? Seems like this will take a LONG time going that route. Any tips or tricks? TIA!

Mine needs it too. To do it right the rub rail needs to come off, all the old sealant needs to be cleaned off, then use 4200 to reseal. Lot of work and can be messy. I’m not getting water intrusion yet so it’s lower on the list.
