Default Clear bra has marks

I had my SC's hood done and you can see marks from the squeegee in the film. Had it done at the dealer and wonder if the marks are common. Like to know how others have looked.?

Mine has a clearcoat on top of it and it looked just like the paint... no marks. You may want to try some wax to see if it will take care of it... or just take it back to the dealer.

How long ago was it done? I had a few small stray bubbles here and there but that went away. No marks. I'd take it back too.

dealers just hire contractors to come in and install it anyway. most likely some sort of debris got onto the squeegie and scuffed into the clear bra.

if you can only see marks when wearing polarized glasses, then the likely cause is that the soapy water wasn't completely removed during the install process.
