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.

Has anyone else got deep waterspots on their spoiler? When I bought the car it had these blemishes, and they seem to be more permanent than a buffing wheel can sort out.

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.

we had a car here on detail day that was HEAVILY water spotted - the whole side of the car was grey - the windows were even covered - we used a basic rubbing compound on an orbital buffer (not a polisher) - took some work and patience, but they all came out

go slow - be patient - use the lightest compound first and work your way up until you find the one that works them out

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