It would be interesting to see pics of how the decal comes off with steam.

You may have not rubbed long enough, or used a compliant enough cloth (and/or enough pressure with a paper towel) to get down into the crevices for the texture. Or maybe, you just have OCD and the little specs of pigment, no matter how little, that you just know are in the pits of the texture, just drive you crazy (only visible on mine from a few inches away, by the way, and under very bright lighting).

The results were better then just removing and I never had a problem with bubbling and the texture is a really close match.
