Clear bra questions

Okay I've got the clear bra on my car now for about a week and a half. I've done two fairly long trips but I'm already seeing scuff marks on it. Little black marks on the bra. Is this normal? I know its better on the bra than on the paint but already? How long until my entire bra is black with scuff marks and needs to be replaced? Anyone else see these?

I'm thinking on closer inspection that perhaps its tar?

I had some black marks - but they were on the inside of the clearfilm and not on the outside. I have had mine for a year, and scuff marks are visible. A good polish helps reduce them.

seems they buff out pretty easily. Just needed to use more product and a little more elbo grease. I was trying to be easy to not scratch it but once I put more product on it, it just came right off. Also I had a scratch on the clear-bra that we used some Meguire's swirl remover on and it came right out as well. These are a bit stronger than I was giving it credit for as long as you use more product.
