We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

            So it's a rotary buffer like this?



            If yes, then STOP!

            Do not use that tool unless you are experienced, or are working on a car / panel you don't care about. There is a high risk of damaging the paint with a rotary in unskilled hands.
