I have a Flashpoint FP60 and want to remove the decals, too flashy.  How do you safely go about this?  Thanks

yes, a blow dryer works great.  For all other cleanups, i use 409 or simple green.

Wasn't there another thread about exactly this where it was also suggested not to use WD-40 rather to use Gu-Gone or similar?

Do not use any cleaner with acetone in it.  Acetone can eat away the epoxy that holds the carbon strands together.  Simple Green is my all purpose cleaner.
