I used dishwashing soap to remove the wax.

I bought my bar of ClayMagic from PepBoys.

Bodyshops use a chemical wax and grease remover. At least the one I worked at years ago did.

I cleaned the part of the trunk lid, clayed it, wiped it clean, then cleaned it again with alcohol before test fitting the spoiler.

And I bet you havent had any probs since...right? You cant get much better prep than that! You covered the full range there!

Not a single problem. I tried to push it toward the rear windshield and the spoiler didn't even budge.

i heard alcohol is bad for your paint? is that true?

Depends on what you mean by "bad". If you wash your car with alcohol every other day, I'm sure it'll harm the paint one way or another.

If you apply alcohol on the paint once, I don't think you actually harm anything.
