Default Best way to remove scuffs / polish/clean 3m clearbra?

after washing my car for the first time after driving in alot of snow for the last 3 weeks, I noticed that someone must have scuffed my bumper while I was parked in the snow.
Thankfully no damage other than what looks like a rubber scuff on the 3m clear bra.

Does anyone know how to buff/polish / clean this off ? Tried plexus already, no luck

If you don't have a purpose specific cleaner for this, first try WD40 soaked onto a clean cloth, see if you can rub it off. WD40 is actually a good cleaning agent for certain kinds of things, in addition to be a lubricant.

If you want to buy something good - Wurth Clean-Solve.

You can buff via rotary or DA, with MILD polishes (e.g. Menzerna 106FA or FF) via white or black Lake Country pads. But.......use minimal to no pressure and if you're using a rotary, lower speeds. Also, have you tried letting the car sit in the sun? When heated up, the scuffs may be rubbed out with your fingers.

Something like Klasse AIO is also worth a try too.

I'm told that ICE is a very good product for this type of thing. I've not had any issues that required more than Plexus but perhaps ICE is worth a try.

I have used both. IMHO Plexus is best.
