Tape the edges on clear bras and you won't get that white build up. I can't understand how there's bugs imbedded in it unless due to extreme neglect. I've had mine on for a year now and there isn't any bugs.
 
Ya it's been neglected I'm sure of that.. I was scrubbing with a terry pad and AIO and some just wouldn't budge.. and that line is just the way the light was hitting it you couldn't see it anywhere else
 
Looking great Pat! Wow, the guy had 20K on a 2005 already? The car looks amazing after your work. The Jeeps are probably 100 % improved, you do have that paint glowing. The folks in town will be thinking you guys have new vehicles!

You can try a LIGHT abrasive on the film with a PC and a polishing pad. If it's 3M film, it's clear coated. I use #80 on mine and haven't had a problem with swirls except when people see what it is and have the need to rub their hands across it.....................
