Did you apply decal before your few last coats of clear? If not there is a product called solfast, you can get it at a hobby shop most of the time. Any way you apply this clear liquid with a small modeling paint brush over the decal and it will get rid of the haziness of the decal and the edge that you see. It melts the decal into the surface without distorting the decal . Its widely used for models where the decal has to look like it was painted on getting into crevices and melting into depressions and rivets such as older airplanes and train cars .Use this only of you haven't cleared over the decal when refinishing. It will not hurt the clear coat. Always try to apply decal before your last two coats of clear coat and you would not have this problem.
