There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
How Can I Remove Ghost Marks left after removing decal strips?

And then DA polish.
I use Cilit Bang to get off all the decals. On my 3D Printer I have magnetic spring steel as base. On it there's a special decal then the printing is stuck onto that plate. It has a 3M glue in the middle. I use this: https://www.britsuperstore.com/usa/.../household-cleaners/cillit-bang-cleaners.html - Cilit Bang Green. That removes all the decals like hell. Spray on, wait a few seconds, and gently wipe off with paper towels. If needed I also use a plastic spatula.

If the decals were on for several years, it might be near impossible to get rid of them. Try asking at a detail shop.

My advice to DA polish it was before I realized you had matte paint. Do not do this. Your signature says your Ryker is a 2021 so the stripes are not years old. But you may dealing with paint fade. If this is the case, there really is no cure. Especially with matte paint. Again this isn't really likely after a couple of years. Does it sit outside all the time?

Believe it or not, Peanut Butter is great to remove the glue, lines left behind. A word of caution tho since it is a matte finish, you may end up with a slightly shinier look when done initially. But you can then use whatever final finish product you have for cleaning/waxing to blend it into the surrounding areas...

Texas Al,
Try Goo gone
Goo Gone can be used on car paint without any damages to its surface. So, if you have stubborn stains from oil, tar, chewing gum, grease, sticker, or decal residue, etc., you can apply Goo Gone to help you clear off the stickiness or stains.Nov 19, 2021.
I did a search and I found the above info. It does mention Sticker or decal residue. I would do a small test on ghost markings.

in re reading your initial post the problem as I see it is that the stripes covered up the paint so that area has not faded along with the rest of the finish. If that is the case I don't see how you can get them to match without repainting the affected panels.
