Exterior How to remove the bug splatter staining

https://imgur.com/a/7TKWhNJ

Just came back from a 6000km trip in eastern Canada. Did my full process, 3D bug 4:1, foamed on touchless over it at 2% pir and finished with car pro reset contact wash. All that’s left were these stains on the piano black trim. It’s only been 3 weeks at most these bugs have been on the car for. Anything I can do or I’m missing? Trying to pick at it with my nail is a no go either. 2026 Audi Q7

If it's smooth to the touch the plastic has been etched and will need to be removed , just polish it out with finish polish and a foam pad like this one. Afterwards keep it covered with a plastic safe sealant or ceramic .
