How do I remove marks on the paint from a rear spoiler?

This is a related question to the one I made before.





After the spoiler was removed, I see the area that the trunk sat on has some sort of hazy layer that doesn't feel rough or bumpy. This 'hazy' layer is in the shape of the spoiler foam pads that make contact with the the trunk. What is this, and how can I remove it?

use a light rubbing compound that should remove hazy outlineHow do I remove marks on the paint from a rear spoiler?
Get some citrus cleaner it will break up the adhesive without damaging the paint.
I don't know what it is for sure (Glue??) but try paint thinner on a cloth/paper towel. Do not over do the paint thinner, just enough to dampen the cloth. Test it on a small spot to see how it does. Wipe of excess paint thinner if it runs or best to use a dry clean cloth or wash after your finished so that it will not hurt clear coat. I worked at a body shop when I was younger and this will take off road tar and residue from emblems etc. I assumed you have already tried to wash this off, if not this is your first step, then if paint thinner doesn't work get some clear coat buffing compound. The spoiler could have rubbed the finishing and cc buffing compound will sand the finish back. The cc buffing compound is generally light blue. Good luck.
take your car to a bodyshop and they should be able to buff the paint where it is discolored where the spoiler was.. if you want to do it yourself go to an auto parts store and get some buffing compound (finishing glaze) and a little elbow grease you'll be in business...
Wash it with bug remover and then polish it up with a buffing machine. Here try this

You can use peanut butter. Apply a little heat from hair dryer and hand rub. G. Luck!
could it be oxidation? is it clear and shiny? try using a rubbing compound for cars. go to your local auto zone and ask them. they will know.
Sand paper and rocks. Okay maybe not. Use a good cleaner wax or like someone said earlier, take it to a body shop and they will use a little rubbing compound on it.
