Default CA Blade caused major Clear Bra damage!

I need help!!! I put a little too much pressure using the blade on my car. It folded in on itself and the rubber stem area streaked against my clear bra. It left a nasty streak. Very Very very noticeable! I tried rubbing it, but no luck. Any ideas?

Depending on how bad the scratch there might not be anything you can do about it. You can try polishes by hand or a buffer at low rpm. Also you can try Plexus or Meguiars number 9.

It is hard to say without seeing a pic

are you talking about the hard plastic handle that did it??

No, it was the rubber. See the fold point here? It folded in completely and that portion streaked against my clear bra.

Well... it took a professional detailer about 20 passes with an orbital buffer using 3 different types of polishes. It's next to gone. You can barely see it, only if you know where to look and at the right angle.
