I just finished working on the car. I used Plastic X 2.0 to polish the marks on the bra. You can still see them, but they are much reduced. While I was at it, I polished the rest of the car and applied Regex to both the paint and bra. It started to rain while I was putting on the Regex, so back inside the poorly lit garage to finish the job.

Adam has some amazing detailing videos. I watched his polishing and sealing videos. They saved me a lot of work! The Porter Cable polisher did a great job of not only polishing, but applying the Regex and then wiping it off. I am truly an Adam fan now! While it is still a lot of work, the job is easily 1/3 the effort than when I did the Regex by hand.

The only problem is that the polishing foam pad I used to apply the Regex absorbed quite a bit and I can't get it all out. Washing doesn't help at all. So I guess that I have to expect to toss a pad after applying Regex.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Z looks much more beautiful now. Owning a black car really is a lot more work!
