Clear Bra Scratch Removal
Need some help here. I did a search and couldn't find anything. The other day I tried to get a bug stain off of my clear bra, and I guess there was some loose dirt trapped in my microfiber cloth, which scratched my clear bra. Unfortunately I wiped it a few times before I noticed it, which means that now there are like 3-4 scratches at the same spot right there on the hood. Pretty gnarly.
What is the best way to remove scratches from the clear bra? I have Plexus and tried to wipe the scratches with it, but it didn't even reduce the appearance of the scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

But for constant rids and scratches
Zanio AIO and Plexus works quite well..
Use a white or green pad set it on speed 4 on a DA
Or around speed 2 on a Makita. Both have worked quite well for me.
If you do not have those products try using PlastX (easy to find and OTC)
For removing fading and oxidization I usually jewel the clearbra with something like Menzerna PO85RD which can be purchased from Phil @ Detailers Domain or Greg @ Detailed Image

Quick update... Went with the heat method and didn't do much, as I suspected. Next, I don't have a DA so I went with a foam pad and Plexus, and polished the scratches by hand. After a couple of quick applications (30+ seconds of pushing/buffing), it definitely reduced the appearance by 70-80%. Now I can't see the scratches unless I look at it from a very narrow angle, and only if I remember exactly where they were. Thanks for all the help.

I have had great luck with a 3/4 mix of Isopropyl alchohol and then rubbing by hand for about a minute for hairline scratches.
