Default Removing grime and bug guts from clear bra??

Okay, I have a clear bra and I washing my car for the first time in about a month (please don't stone me!) this past Saturday...

The front end had tons of bug guts and things of that nature on it and I scrubbed it for a while getting as much gunk off of it as I could. I did a good job but there is still some stuff on it that just won't come off.

I talked to the guy who put on the bra and someone here at work this morning and they both suggested using a cleaner wax on it? Would anyone else recommend this or make any other recommendation?

Just want to know what to do before I wax (first time) this coming weekend...

Thanks in advance...

I have detailed porches with clear bras and I also have this problem. They seem to absorb the yellow color into the material. I have no idea how to remove them

Can you clay bar the Clear Bra? If you can that might remove the extra buggies.

I paid $636 for mine.

It was about 8" up the hood and down to the lowest point on the grill (actually under the car by about a 1/2")

And then on the sides it went a 1/3 of the way up the front fender.

I also had some put on behind the wheels to help reduce any scuffing or chips due to gravel...and last but not least I had the side view mirrors done.

I'll have to try the cleaner wax I guess and see where I get...
