What's best to clean clear rock guards?
 

I have a 2006 911 c4 with clear rock guards. I don't want to replace them with black, but these are really difficult to clean. Wondering what cleaner is most effective on these. Thanks.

Whats in them? I wash the car with regular wash soap, and if necessary use a fine polish to clean up any scratches or swirls on a 3" DA. Then I seal like regular paint.

Just dirt
 

It's just road grime, but I can' seem to get them clean. I've had the best results with a Magic Eraser, but that didn't do a complete job. By polish do you mean wax? What is a 3" DA? What do you use to seal the job? Thanks.

I would use a fine finishing polish like M205. You could use a towel by hand but would get better results with a Machine. A DA is a buffing machine that is pretty safe. You need ot make sure that you don't catch an edge. if you have never used one before skip it and do it by hand.


Then seal it with Wax or sealant.


A good detailer could clean these up quickly. If you go on Detailing Bliss and ask for a local detailer, someone with respond. I don't know anyone up there.

Thanks
 

I appreciate the guidance.

No problem, you can also go to a local Xpel dealer or other clear film company and they can replace it with clear. I had mine replaced because the factory ones are not the best to start with.

Don't waste your time trying to clean them! They are either yellow or light brown with the age of the material. Remove them by pulling up on a corner and pull up and away from the direction the material is being removed (this limits the amount of adhesive left on the paint). The residual adhesive can be removed with 3M adhesive remover. Polish the paint and have new clear bra material cut and installed. You will be amazed at the new appearance. You can use a sealant of your choice of glass coating on top of the clear bra material after it is installed.
