decal residue

i just took of my decals, and there is an outline of it and spots of the adhesive. i hand washed it normally once, took it to automated high pressure wash that did like 2 washes and rinses, spot free, ect. now im handwashin it again. it isnt lookin too good. any suggestions on how i can clear off tha residue without washing my car till the paint fades...thanx in advance

3m adhesive remover works, but if you try it, clean and wax over where you used it. Or try 3m body shop clean up(concentrate), its a good all around cleaner!

Final Inspection by Meguiar's is the best...get's anything from the environment or wax residue off your paint...

there is disk that you put on your drill, that will remove it. it is made of the same stuff that an art gum eraser is made of. it will take your stickers off by turning them to dust. it didn't seem to me that it hurt the clear. you can get it at Sherwin Williams.
