I searched around a bit but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for. What do you guys use to detail your spoiler, specifically the black (NOT painted to match body color) spoiler on your coupes? It seems painted, so I tend to think polish/wax would work. In the past I've used various plastic trim products (Black Chrome to be specific) with good temporary results. Any advice is welcome, I'm going to be doing a full detail this weekend.
Thanks,

You're correct...it is painted. Polish and wax normally, just like the rest of the car. It is not clear coated, so you will get a little black on your buffer pad.

Quick detail wax works nice.

Thanks for the responses, I'll proceed as normal with the polish/wax. My car is white so no clear coat anywhere, at least that's uniform.
Regarding water spots, I do have a few on my spoiler that are deep, but I think now that I know it's able to be polished/waxed, I'll get them out.

A good clay barring might get rid of the water spots.
