So I washed the car today for the first time in a while. I went to get something out of the trunk and noticed a ton of what look like spider cracks or scratches all over my spoiler. Has anyone else had this issue?


I'd hope it would be covered under warranty, but I really don't trust leaving them my car anyways lol

When I get some free time I may see if i can buff them out if theyre just scratches or if it's cracked too bad. Might be time for an aftermarket spoiler

Since you mentioned it happened after a wash I would bet hard water deposits left after the pool of water dried. Wash again and dry it or wax/buff. Need to soften the water you're using or dry it next time.

Looks like hard water deposits to me.

Blast it with some detail spray and voila.

DIB is just impossible to get clean. Agreed - looks like water spotting.

I really hope it's just hard water deposits. I took it to the do it yourself wash with the high pressure washers, and air dried on the highway a few miles.

I tried rubbing it off real quick with my finger, but it wouldn't budge. It really kinda feels like a scratch or crack that I can feel with my fingernail.

But fingers crossed I'm just going full retard and it's just hard water deposits lol. If it somehow is hosed, all the more reason for a different spoiler!
