anyone have 50000+ miles, and rear spoiler is all scratched up?

Trying to figure out whether the spoiler is normal wear and tear from the sand in the air, or if I didn't take care of it.

You can't really polish it because the paint on it is too thin.

Mine, but I am going get it repaint. My 06 did not have that problem lol.

Mine is great! No issues!

You can lightly wetsand with 2500 grit and buff them

mine is too. given the shape, its hard to machine buff after wet sanding. Anyone have luck rejuvenating it?

I have 64k and mine looks like it needs some work. Going to try buff it this weekend.

My 450h has 71k and has no scratches.

Be careful when buffing along the edges. The paint is thin.
You can easily buff right through the paint.

Unfortunately, the edges are where mine are scratched up the most.

If I were doing it again, I would take it to the body shop to spray another layer of clear coat on it.

I had +300,000km and the rear section of my car still looked good even the spoiler, minor scratches yes, deep noticeable ones, no.

Thanks for the info! I just finished clay baring the wing and noticed the blue paint on the clay bar. So far spoiler is nice and smooth. Will give it a good wash and buff tomorrow. Will buff lightly on the wing.

There are millions of minor scratches on my spoiler.

Under the right sunlight, it looks nasty.

I tried to polish, but scratches are deeper than they look.

The scratches most likely came from you guys laying groceries or random stuff on the spoiler. I highly doubt sand can reach it to scratch it.

Mine has been looking a little rugged for a year or two. I was wondering the same, it looks all faded from sun. I think the paint is different on it than the body. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an adhesive like the roof rails that peeled on me already.
