clear bra chafing??

My 128i has a clear bra over the front of the car. I guess due to rubbing along speed bumps has worn the bra on the bottom of the front bumper.

Does anyone have an idea how I can clean this up? Thanks!

Eh, I wouldn't. Looks like you have some paint missing also.

I don't know how comfortable you are using a razor to cut the film, but I would make a thin, uniform cut across the front to remove the damaged bra, then touch those paint spots up.

You can cut and remove only the damaged portion, then see how it looks when viewing the damaged area. If it's too apparent, you may need to make the cut all the way across to keep it symmetrical.

It's very easy to damage your paint when cutting the clear bra, so if you aren't comfortable with it, take it to a professional and have them clean it up.
