Default Cleaning tape stripes

Anybody have a good method or product to clean the stripes on my 04 CE? Car originally from Florida and I'm not sure if the spotting is salt water related, acid rain or whatever. Tried to take pics but they don't show up. Presently using Zaino products. Any help would be appreciated.

A clay bar will take water spots out of a painted surface - not sure if it would work OK on a decal. Might want to check with the fine folks in the car care section - someone there might have a solution for you.

Thanks for the info. I had searched the website and found some answers, but was unaware of the car care section. Great info and thanks for pointing me to it.
