Looks like someone on the AutoGeek forum has tackled this. There may be other suggestions.

Also, for future reference posting in this section may get you better responses:

will probably net better responses in the detailing section, but anyway.... clearbra's can be polished so i would start with ScratchX and foam pad.

i personally like to use those kiwi shoe polishing foam pads (applicators) for small scuffs. otherwise i resort to my 3" random orbital. you can buy these at your local convenience store or walmart, target, etc probably.

Amazon.com: Kiwi Select Polish Applicators, 2 Each: Health & Personal Care

anyway, GL with your repair. at least clearbra's can be re-applied

The scratch is not on the clear bra, its on the bumper underneath the clear bra.

How do you get a scratch under the bra? Did it tear? If it's under the bra you need to remove it take care of the scratch and then reapply

The only thing I want under my bra is boobies

My car hit some high curb slightly and theres light a black scratch near the DRL lights. I don't know if its scratch on the bumper or the clear bra, but its black. Any suggestions how to remove the scratch. I don't want to remove the clear bra and apply a new one on.
