Nail polish remover is a weak acetone solution.
You could try that, just treating the end 1/2 inch, then eave it a while. If it's degraded, cut it off. If no harm done, be braver.

Alternatively, keep the bonnet closed.

Unfortunately gone are the days of acetone based nail polish remover - the ladies complained that it made their nails and skin milky (so ive heard!)  Its now Propanone based.

White spirits or thinners are supposed to remove it, Thats what I'll be trying when I get a set.

[quote name="adam_93rio" post= Why anyone would want logos all over the black hoses is beyond me. If I wanted crap like that all over my engine bay I would've gone full chav and ordered blue ones[/quote]

Don't you just love how you pay for the parts and they, not singling out MS, get free advertising. Like when you buy a T shirt, the plain ones $5 and the Reebok one is $25, and you're a walking advertisement. Go the rubber ones. :-)
