Rear wing spoiler.. sticky.. grimey...

Installed the rear wing spoiler last night. The paint feels sticky and grimey. I tried just water but nothing happens.. Its just as bad... maybe goo-gone?

Well, it obviously needs a little TLC. Give it a wipe with some alcohol, to release any residue, then a paint cleaner. Always apply a wax or sealant to new installed aftermarket items that are painted.

Make sure to follow up with some wax/sealant. The Goo-Gone stripped whatever was on there.

I would never advise using goo gone on plastic! Theres a recent thread on another forum where a "tar" remover product ruined someones front grill........Also make sure you rinse that stuff off............Then seal like MrH said......
