can't remove stains/spots from clear bra

There are a bunch of spots on my hood where either sap hit the clear bra or bugs, I've washed the car very well and even clay bared, but there are outlines of the stains left on the clear bra. I'm thinking they may be etched into the clear bra. Anyway to correct this? My car looks like a mess right now if you look closely. I do a lot of road trips so often bugs and stuff are unavoidable and then its a few days before I can wash it.

Depending on the film, it may be etched. The only polish I use on clear film is zymol hd-cleanse. It's the safest and most effective cleanser I know that I would trust on film.

try "Plexus" that's what my bra installer & almost everyone been using to clean the clear bras. Actually my installer says to only use Plexus nothing else to clean & maintain the bra such as chemical cleaners etc. That is what makes the bra bra yellow due to those chemicals.

I've never been a fan of plexus on clear film. If you want to do a side-by-side comparison, simply clay the film using sonus extra-fine clay, polish using zymol hd-cleanse, and wax using zymol field glaze or Titanium. You will notice a HUGE difference after hd-cleanse.

if you have etched the clear mask, you can polish on it with a high speed rotary, but you must be very careful. I have done this many times on Venture Shield. You still have to go through the whole 3 step process, as you can leave swirl marks in a clear mask.
