    Re: Getting bugs out of clear bra?

    Try using a heat gun. Hold the gun about 4" away from the area you're working on

    If you can find out the brand then you can contact the manufacturer and they will be more then willing to help you. My problem is mine came from a third party installer who uses different brands and they went out of business
    I don't know why I had 2 bashing smileys not bashing you at all. I want to bash myself sometimes trying to clean this thing lol. I have thought of removing it a few times already.

    I use stoners with the pressure washer and it usually does fine. Alcohol softens the bra which can help loosen, just be careful not to rub hard. Alcohol is a last case senerio.

    Re: Getting bugs out of clear bra?

    I just tried the Hydrogen Peroxide method on my car- the results were immediate and appear to be fantastic. It's been overcast here for the past couple of days so I can't see if the surface of the ppm is impacted by the HP, but boy does it eat bugs off of it! I used HP on a q-tip, then gently applied over affected areas. Not the fastest method but it removed every single bug splatter. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I’ve had phenomenal success getting
    embedded bugs out of Paint Protection
    Film using XPEL’s Film Cleaner, or
    PF1’s Film Cleanse. Of course: YMMV.

    Re: Getting bugs out of clear bra?

    I have never seen that problem before but my one though was to use a microfiber cutting disk with a light polish or a cleaner wax... Any solvents on clearbra are bad ;(

    When did light polishes or cleaner
    waxes stop containing solvents?

    Are you really comparing a wax to a pure solvent like Alcohol or Acetone?

    Of course not.

    You implied that polishes and cleaner waxes
    don’t contain solvents; and you’d be wrong.

    I have never seen any ill effect on clearbra from waxes or polishes. On the other hand, a little overspray from alcohol or body prep and you have to polish the clearbra out to remove the damage. Learned that one the hard way ;(
