Cleaning Bugs off a Clear Bra

Z74Z09

My installer suggested Plexus or Novus#1 as a plastic cleaner/polish, both available at your local Harley dealer.

Meguiars PlastiX does a decent job as well. And my experience with clay is not not go anywhere near the clearbra with the clay.

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.

Excellent recommendation. I've been using Plexus for years on my bike and helmet...stuff is fantastic!!

try klasse all in one auto polish, i just removed some dead bugs off my clear bra today after washing the car. It can also remove numerous contaminants off the car and creates a nice glossy finish afterwards.

I tried claybar, it doesn't work unfortunately, gonna try the hot soap water approach.

Use the dryer sheet method mentioned above. You'll be amazed. The sheets break down the guts somehow. As a Florida resident that has to deal with love bugs twice a year, this has been the best method so far to tackle massive amounts of bug guts (and I mean seriously heavy volumes of bugs)

Use APC..like Adams all puporse cleaner. When you wash the front end, make sure its in the shade and soak it really well with APC. It should just fall off after about a minute or so of soaking time and sponge with a good soap. If it works on my car with 2 months worth of bugs in the sun everyday, then it should work on yours. I would also suggest using a good sealant on the film to prevent this from happening again.

right now i actually have just the clear white splatter residue which is impossible to remove even after a 2 bucket car wash and claybar. but i'm open to try anything

This!

There is a reason it's not recommended to use them on the towels you use to dry your car.

Anybody have experience removing stains from a clear bra? Either bug guts or some type of poo left a few yellow colored stains on the bra. Car is white, so they show. Tried washing, detail spray, ultra fine swirl remover, plexus, griots clay bar so far and nothing. It's as if it has soaked into the plastic material of the bra.

Ordered the 2 ounce samples. Will give it a try. Thanks for the info.

If it's the yellow poo stuff I've seen, those cleaners won't work. It has reacted with the clear bra and pitted it most likely. The stain is more visible because of roughness that is catching the light. Can you feel or see any actual roughness? If you look at the stain at a shallow angle with good light you might be able to tell.

I've heard this can be removed with a blow dryer or heat gun (be careful not to cook it!) or in some cases denatured ethanol (though this seems like a bad idea). Google these approaches first. I haven't tried them myself.

Usually Novus plastic polish #2 works for me on all but the very worst poo stains.
