Edward,
There are 2 Gunze decal solvent products: Mr Mark Softer (bottle with green cap & label) & Mr Mark Setter (blue cap/label, does basically the same job as Micro Set). If you decide to get some Setter as well, be warned! It's extremely aggressive, nearly as much so as Solvaset, & can attack decals if they don't like it. Test first if you decide to buy some. I usually find that the Softer plus the facecloth trick works fine on everything for me, in conjunction with a good base glosscoat of either Future floor wax or Testors Glosscote lacquer for a nice smooth surface to apply the decals to first.

HTH too,
All the best,
Chris.
