Default Removing imperfections from Clearbra . .

For you professional or amateur detailers, what do you use to polish and remove scratches/surface imperfections from Clearbra-type film (Xpel, Vincashield etc.)? My Vincashield installer recommended Plexus for polishing and it works fairly well to polish when there are minor scratches. I was at an autocross and I believe one of the cones left a scuff on the clearbra. Is this buffable/removable and if so how?

I have already tried polishes such as 3M Imperial Hand glaze which reduced the scuffs a bit but not substantially. How do the pros detail clearbra material?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

PlastX™ Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish G12310 Product Information

Use foam pad and several applications

If its too deep you might need to get it replaced. This stuff helps with lots of scuffs I have had. It has diminishing abrasives that break down as you polish. Thats why it might take several applications.

Thanks. I actually bought some PlastX andtried it. While it did make the surroundinf areas of the clearbra shinier, it did not really have an effect on the smudged areas.

If it is scuffed to deep, there is nothing you can do for it.

You can use rubbing alcohol to remove fine scratches and marks
