However holy Orange peel batman and why not remove the spoiler and paint it.
It's a very dry lacquer finish under the spoiler now.
You have a keen eye lol

Aaahhh
Any tips on how to get it out?

My original sprayer said that it needed "flattened and buffed" to bring out a mirror like shine. I have my doubts. .. lol

Wet sand. Starting at 1500 going to 2000 then 4000 grit. The a polish. You'll spend a solid 3 days doing that.
But it depends on how thick the lacquer was layed.
Check out my profile build when I resprsyed mine.
I wetsanded mine twice.
