Removing dealer Decal help

So I decided to remove the dealer Decal today. I removed the "Chevrolet" but then saw that you could still see where it was. Before I remove the rest of the decal is their anyway to get rid of this (pic below):
Note: it's hard to see in the picture but can be seen when light reflects off of it

try buffing with rubbing compound and then follow up with polishing compound. Do it by hand to keep from burning the paint.

yep... looks like the paint is in better shape under where the stickers were... in other words, no fine scratches... hopefully you can polish the scratches around it out and make it less obvious...

Had similar issue recently.

IPA wipe down and polish.

And disregard whoever said something about burning paint, unless you are using a rotary polisher.
