Could you please supply a little more info?

What kind of streak on the clear bra are we talking about? (Rubber, cone, wax/polish build-up)
Isn't the carbon fiber overlay clear-coated? (That's the norm anymore)

Thanks.

Assuming the carbon fiber is clear coated (which it usually is, I have yet to come across any that wasn't), treat it the same way you would regular cleared paint. Dawn wash, IPA mix, or if you prefer name brand specialized products, Griot's has a wax removal solution (I think called surface prep or maybe wax remover iirc).
 
It's a carbon fiber overlay, so I would assume it's like vinyl. The mark on the clear bra seams like a rubber mark but not sure. Pics going up soon.

Do you wax clear bra? Or just use soap and water?

Just a follow up... I used a Majic eraser very lightly saturated with car wash soap on both the overlay and the 3m worked perfect. thanks guys
