Default removing labels

I just joined this forum after I became interested in buying the C50T and got a lot of "pre-purchase" advise so I'm trying to give at least a little back as some of you may have noticed by the several new posts in the last few hours.

Anyhow, I'm not sure if it's really legal for me to give advise on how to remove the decal that's stuck on the tank of the C50T so those in charge can feel free to remove this post if it's questionable.

About the label (or any other label for that matter) do not try to scrape it off with anything sharp and hard - like a razor blade. I've known people that have tried that. Use a hair dryer or heat gun (on low setting) to soften the adhesive that sticks the label to the tank and then peel off or scrape with your fingernail. Any remaining goo or adhesive can be removed using an adhesive remover sold in most department and auto supply stores. You may want to apply a little wax afterwards.
