At a minimum, the paint should have the wax removed and then clayed. Depending on the condition of the paint (and size & location of the decal) maybe consider a multi stage polish to remove any swirls and properly correct the paint.

Isopropyl certainly won't hurt. I agree that if the area doesn't look great it would be a great time to polish the paint before applying the decal. Once the decal is applied you won't be able to machine polish the area without risk of damaging the decal.

No problem there... the area is showroom and I hand polish. I wonder what the factory process is when they apply? (GT cars)
