The instructions say i need to clean the area with a non residue cleaner, that wont damage the paint.

The tank is highly waxed and polished so its not a good surface to put it on at the moment.

What cleaner would do the job, am i right in saying white spirit would do the job ?
maybe even fairly liquid ?

Petrol. Meths. Isopropyl alcohol.

If using white spirit, watch out for the nasty white residue marks it usually leaves Laughing when it dries out that is.
