Does anyone know what to use to take the decals off the bonnet of the MH. They have partially peeled off and left the glue

Hairdryer on hot will help lift decals so the peel off easily. Tar and glue remover will take any residual decal glue right off...
May need a few soaks of tar and glue remover but it's great stuff.

Use an old tea towel to scrub off glue residue...Never anything hard

I had the same problem, went to motorfactors and got a can of spray they recommended. Cant remember the name, think it was for removing chewing gum but was recommended by shop. It was brill, just spray on, wait a minute and the remaining glue became soft and could be removed.

WD40 is also good for removing the glue afterwards.
