Default Tips on removing rubber streaks on clear bra?

After a few DE events this year I've got some rubber scars from debris. I simply clay the paint and it comes right off but it seems to really like the stone guards and clear bra. Any suggestions?

The more force you use, the more scratches you'll get in the bra.
At the track, I've found RRR to be the best for maintenance, between runs. A polisher with some cleaner ( at the track I use that cheap but damn good NuFinish) at the end of a track day/weekend.
Finally, for the deep stuff that won't come off with gentle pressure use Oil-Flow Safety Solvent, then immediately go over that area with soap and H2O.

A lot of people like Mothers R3 rubber removal but I have found the TTR spray from Premier Mobile to be the most effective hands down.

Most of the "Spray" waxes work best. Easy on and off.

I used Bug and Tar Remover ( by Turtle Wax ) it seemed to work well on the clear bra and the paint. Is this an okay product?

Mothers R3 and haven't tried it yet, but Griot's has one out now that removes the tire marks as well...

For mothers, spray it on the area, let it sit for 15-20sec then wipe it off gently. If it doesn't come spray a little more and let it sit...

Mothers R3 has been amazing.. I have a clear bra installed on the entire front up to the windshield. With a white car you really see all the rubber marks, this product simply sprays on and wipes off with little effort..
I'm sure there are other great products out there, I have only tried this one after not being able to remove the rubber with soap and water.

I have used Mothers R3, Goo Gone, and Isopropyl Alcohol(drug store)... all work good on my car wrap.

two of the best products i've ever seen.

http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/plexus.html
it is a great spray plastic cleaner/wax. i caution using some of the solvents, etc....it may clean off great, but it is damaging to most clear bra materials....either in the short run or sometimes the long run. rubbing alcohol is ok, removes some small hairline scratches.

this stuff is the bomb. i use it on paint, glass, clear bra, wheels. it's claims are spot on. super easy to apply.
