Cleaning Bugs off a Clear Bra
 

Anybody have any good advice.

I have waxed mine twice and can't get these damn Zdayz bugs off. I am afraid to use anything on the film due to discoloration or scratching it.

Anybody have any success?

Hot water, mild soap, and a bug sponge.... add elbow grease.... = bug-less clear bra.

The important thing here is the hot water. It does work

pressure washer under 1600 psi.... works great and then a little rubbing with a microfibre wash mitt does the job.

I will give it a shot, thanks for the tips guys.

You always want to remove them as fast as possible.

But after the fact I would first try a wash, starting with a good pre-soak to soften it up.
If that doesn't remove it all, I would use a mild polish.
They don't recommended it, but when used with care it's fine.

Then if you still see it a little, you can leave it and see if it bleaches out over time.

Also covering it with some good sealant will help to avoid any future problems.

Do not use a high pressure wash on your clear bra!

I am going to try the hot water, and mild soap. I am not so sure about the pressure wash and polish

pressure washing is fine as long as you stay under 1600 psi. I have been doing it for years with no ill effects.

Pressure wash is a certain NO for me. If only it were for the fact that a little edge could turn into a big one before it gets trimmed.

Mild polishes are fine on quality film.
I would only do it by hand to avoid warming up the plastic....
But I've never had any issues...

If you don't already use it I'd recommend using Plexus for cleaning your clearbra. That stuff is amazing, it cleans, polishes, and seals. It leaves the clearbra extremely smooth after applying it, and its really easy to use.

+1 on Plexus.

I use Z-AIO instead...

But after zaino-ing the car completly, any bugs wash right off...

use Meq's APC+ try 1:10 ratio can work up to 1:4 if you need stronger, and light clean with a microfiber towel or wash mit. there are various other bug/tar cleaners that are very safe for all coatings and a clear bra will hold up fine too.

Start conservatively and work your way up if you can't get them out.

I pretty sure that a clay bar would work perfectly though. It worked wonders at getting rusty rail dust out of the paint of my brother's white corvette.

I dunno about using a claybar. My Clear bra installer said absolutely do not use a claybar on it. Even my Venture Shield lifetime warranty card says not to use a claybar on it.

Then next time you go out to Zdays, you'll just invest in some roadwrap... only costs $12 ... and peels right off
