Bed decal removal leaving "ghost" staining effect

Hey yall, I removed my bed decals on my 2017 Tacoma and noticed that there seems to be a "ghost" stain left behind, assuming because its been on so long. Anyone run into this, and know of any possible solutions to blend the "ghost" stein to match the paint? It's a Silver Tacoma, so kinda noticeable especially in the sun. Thanks!

 

A good detail shop could probably do some paint correction (along with a full detail because why not)

 

You could try this:



$6.00

 

Clay bar and then the polishing compound @Robnik mentioned.

 

Not much you do, will change it. It was on to long before removal. Paint not faded, where decals removed. Painting besides are only way to correct 100% $$$.

 

If you'd removed them soon after purchase it would a lot better. On a 6 year old truck the paint under the decal is going to be different. As time goes on the paint will become more similar. In a year or 2 you probably won't be able to see it.
