Sometimes waxing can remove stuff like that, but if not then you might want to try a very light polishing compound. Megulairs #9 swirl remover is what I would try.

I honestly don't know what that will do to a clear bra though - I have the clear bra - but haven't needed to wax/polish my car yet.

That was my disclaimer. The polish is designed to work with paint/clear coats. I don't think it should hurt a clear bra, but you never know. Try in an inconspicuous area first, or something.

You can wax the area like you would the paint. DO NOT scrub the product it can tarnish and scratch the material. WHen you get it as good as you can then leave it. The product will bleach the stain out over a couple week period of time. I know this is hard to believe but it will. That is just another reason why the product is great. It might get stained like the paint, but it will go away unlike your paint. This does not work on things like tar and road paint however.

Default Thanks! I was confused by your comment: "It might get stained like the paint,..."

"...but it will go away unlike your paint." What did you mean by this???

Actually the 3M material is prone to taking on a yellowish stain from diesel fumes in the air. If you wax it when it is first installed with a good paste wax, this will be minimized. Look for a wax that doesn't have a lot of dyes in it .... 3m or Mequiers are both good for this.
