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.
Cleaner Maxima SC1 >> no issues works fine on flat black

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.
