I'm thinkin polish the panel too. Try Peek-even by hand and it should disappear. Or any other polish.

Yeah, when I was young I painted Greyhound type buses, a whole fleet of wreckers including Kenworths red and white moving stipes around, several of the cities garbage trucks before the owner stopped them from coming in. All kinds of fleet stuff/box trucksI have seen it many times. If the decal has been on a few years you will see and even feel where the were no matter how much you buff. Wet sanding does not even work very well.
Try buffing, it might make it good enough for you.
Never use lacquer thinner on paint you want to save. Use wax and grease remover to remove any adhesive. Also do not use metal tools, a putty spreader works well, fingernail is the best pln ahead and let them grow.
I painted about 100 semi doors one summer after the decals were removed. If you don't sand enough it will show thru new paint.
