Be VERY careful with decals on this SE. The flat black areas are very sensitive to any Brake cleaner or cleaners. I just barely touched it with a little brake cleaner and it turned white. I was cutting holes for vents and cleaning before applying round vents. The flat black areas have no gloss coating on the upper surface.

I did the same thing to my 2020...the decal disintegrated...about $100 to replace one side. Thanks for the tip on cleaning them. Joe

I was about to post a warning but found this was already discussed. I had a couple drops of gas touch upper left decal, it disintegrated immediately. I rubbed with my finger and made it worse lol. As also mentioned, the one spot turned whiteish also. Will attempt today to try and bring back the colour, hopefully.I did the same thing to my 2020...the decal disintegrated...about $100 to replace one side. Thanks for the tip on cleaning them. Joe
