Default Removing Cone Marks from Clear Bra

I know most of you run on tracks without cones but locally, it's a long drive to the track. During Autocross, a few of us hit the cones with the resulting black marks. Anyone know of a solvent that doesn't mar the clear bra but removes the black cone marks without hours of rubbing compound?
Thanks for the help.

70% rubbing alcohol spray is what most installers use to remove/soften marks on the bra after installation. That should easily remove those marks

Miracle wash.

I use that for the rubber marks after the track day and it works great! I don't have a clear bra but a friend with the 997 GT3 RS took my advice and bout miracle wash to get the rubber marks off from his car and he said it works great also on clear bra.

Nothing comes clos to that stuff, trust me.

3M or WD-40. They both do quite well. For WD - 40 you need to make sure you have a few coast of wax or in this case a clearbra.

Klasse All-in-One cleaner wax works great at removing rubber marks from paint or clear bra -- you can use it after the wash or use it on a wet car. Cleans the rubber marks off and waxes the area...all at the same time.

I'm the friend that Petu is talking about, I have a box full of Plexus cans, 3m remover, PC, etc etc etc. I've tried them all, Plexus was the best until I tried Miracle wash made by Amsoil. Plexus does a better job of putting a nice shine on the clear bra, but Miracle wash does a better job removing rubber marks. What used to take me an hour after every track event. (I have 80% of my car covered in clear bra), now takes me a whole 10 minutes. After I've washed the car, I spray down the rubber marks, and by the time I've sprayed them all down, the first marks are ready to be removed. Wipe with the MF towel, and they are gone. I still owe Petu bear on this one. (Sebring this weekend).

Mooty,

Probably you can find it from some autostores but here's where I ordered mine.

Erik,

Can't make it to Sebring (what else is new?)... You do realyze more time goes by, interest keeps working on that beer you owe me... By the time of next 48 hrs, it's gotta be like 3 or 4!
Actually you owe the beer to some other Rennlister since here I first hear about MF, can't remember who it was though.
