Ask a body shop (collision center) they could probably remove it, or tell you how to clean it.

We had a similar issue with a car in our family. It was very hard to get a body shop to help, but we finally did. [More here if interested.](https://www.torquenews.com/1083/dont-apply-clear-film-bra-your-vehicle-until-you-read)
