Default moved spoiler back, but..

so it was beautiful out today mid 60's and couldn't help but to think of something to do to my car lol. so i figured why not move the spoiler back. I moved it back and couldn't be happier only problem i have is that it was pretty damn dirty underneath it, i cleaned it best I could but there's still some faded dirty marks where the old spoiler would be. does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it out? its not horrific but its pretty noticeable. ill try to get a pic of it but if any detailer's no any tricks let me know

start with a clay bar treatment. if that fails, try a good rubbing compound. if that also fails, you'll have to try some really fine grit wet-sanding

I had the same problem when I removed my spoiler, but my car is black so it wasn't as noticable.

I Goo Goned the **** out of it, clay barred it, used paint cleaner wax, polish, and it was still faint. After a year in the sun it has faded out and I can't even see it anymore.

I can see them. For some reason, mine has a lot darker fade lines/dirt lines. Yours is a field day compared to what mine looks like underneath the spoiler.

those should come out fairly easy. they don't look too bad from here. just take the time and elbow grease, and they should disappear

Whoops! I didn't check to see if that had been mentioned already or not. My bad!
