Default My clear bra is "stained"

Back in September I went out to Saskatchewan to see my Dad/step-mom for a few days. It was pretty warm out, and I managed to get a lot of bugs wanting to fly into my bumper. Anyway, I washed the car immediately after arriving there, but there are orange stains in the clear bra on the drivers' side of the bumper.

Is there any possible way to get this stuff out? I've tried goo gone, with no luck. Claybar, etc.

Is this a warranty-type of thing? I just hope there is an easy solution, because its always a hassle to have to bring the car back to calgary for stuff like this

Get some scraps of film and apply it to something (anything you don't care about) and begin to experiment. I've seen those yellow bug stains on my film as well, but in time and after a few car washes, they always seem to fade away. Of course, on a white car, it's much more visible and may take much, much longer for car washings to get rid of it. Experiment with some bleach to make sure that it doesn't do anything weird to the film first. Always rinse with lots of water and keep it off the unfilmed parts of the car. Also try bug and tar remover. Try Zaino Z-1 - it make a pretty bug and tar remover. Plexus? With the scrap, you can try almost anything first.

Try "Fantastic". I've been told this is the cleaner of choice.
