Question on Clear Bra

[Porsche9]

Try some of the same stuff that's used to correct faded headlights. I just used a 3M kit (bought at the local auto store for $15 and it includes the bit, various grits of sandpaper and polish) on my daughter's Mini and it worked wonders. They look like new again. The clear bra isn't too different. The only tool you need is a drill and some time.

You can actually take a clay bar to the clear bra and you may be able to get the scuff out of the bra

Thank you for these suggestions. The detailing guy told me he would probably use a wool pad on his polisher. Not sure what polish he would use.

I will try this weekend and post results!

I have a 2003 S that had a clear bra on the hood, fenders, mirrors and front bumper. The car was from FL so it had baked on. I used a plastic scraper - looks like a razor blade, but it's orange plastic and goo gone.

Heat helps. You can use a heat gun or hair drier or even a small space heater. Or, just leave it in the sun for a while. The scraper will take off small bits of the plastic and will leave some adhesive behind. Then put the Goo Gone on and let it sit for a few minutes. Use the scraper again to get the residue off. You may need to apply a few times, but it will come off. Took me about 40 hours total to get everything off and the results were excellent. The car looks like new, and no paint came off.

Have patience and good luck.
