Saw a thread on what appears to be bugs on non PPF, what is the best way to get them off the front bumper on PPF? I got about half of it done, still not perfect and it took quite a long time. i'm basically scraping them off with my fingernails. I know pretty gross. My fault for leaving them there for months. I've tried bug and tar stuff and it doesn't seem to do much. The echo waterless wash is doing nothing. I read people said to clay them and that seems to work the best, but I feel like I"m wasting a lot of clay.

I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your particular PPF and ask them for suggestions.

What Can I Use To Clean The Film With If The Film Cleaner Isn’t Working?
XPEL Film Cleaner is generally designed to remove dirt, grime and oils from paint protection film that lead to yellowing over time. To remove stains from other substances such as insects, bird droppings or other compounds, use acetone or lacquer thinner with a soft microfiber cloth.
I got this stuff, it works well. I spray it on before I do my normal wash with ONR and the big red sponge, then use a clay bar for anything really stubborn.
I use this along with the bug remover on my non PPF car. I assume it would work on PPF as well. I use the mesh side to get the bugs off.
