Cleaning...

Fellas, I gotta clear bra on my car & certain areas like my rockers won't come clean where the bra ends.

Any ideas of a good way to get rid of this dirt w/out damaging the paint?

Not an issue for darker cars like my old M4 that was mineral grey, but a PITA w/this alpine.

Thanks!

It looks like you lost adhesion on the bra and that dirt is between the film and the paint

Can't see were the clear bra ends,If the dirt is just after the clear bra, I would use clay bar with quick detailer spray.
If is under clear bra it needs to be pealed off first.

Remove dirt with alcohol wipe. Re-glue down with this.

If you can’t get clean enough, you will be forced to trim it.

You got a poor install job. All film edges should be wrapped on all panels to avoid this.

Take it back to installer...that looks like dirt against the PPF where it has peeled back from the paint.
