Removed decals with hair dryer then cleaned off excess with goo gone. Followed with rubbing compound but still have what looks like ghost images. What else can I do?? By the way these are on my truck not my Vette :eek:

i usually clay the area, apply polish several times.

of course i would prefer to use WD40 over goo gone.. it works better IMO on tough stickers.

also you have ghost, probably because one part has been exposed longer than the other... kinda like tan lines.

what year is your car? is it clear coated???

You may want to use 3M Scratch and Swirl Remover on the area, and follow with your favorite polish/wax and it should do the trick.
