Haze on carbon fiber spoiler

Woke up to this...
18 F80 purchased a few months ago. Unsure if it's OEM or aftermarket. Any ideas on how best to remove the haze?

That looks like de-lamination. I don't think there's an easy way to fix, especially on carbon fiber.

Is this car parked in the sun often? Typically the haze like that is clear coat failure from excessive UV. Regardless of OEM CF or aftermarket CF, the issue is present in both. Your best bet might be to take it to a body shop that knows how to handle CF and see if they can wet sand it and reseal it.

The worst part is mine is doing that too, but to a lesser extent. It looks more like a smugde or fingerprint. Garaged unless it's being driven. Only 40k

Car is rarely in the sun. 19k. Garage queen. Sigh.

reach out to dealer and see if it was spec'ed with the car. If so it should be covered... if not the worst they can say is sorry.
