It can but from your statement there that is not over doing it so not likely. Back to the clear oat theory I guess.

Honestly, I just do not see a way it could be a clear coat problem if it wasn't a defect from the factory and the OP has stated this is a relatively new occurrence. Leads me to believe its a wax issue. Do you use a spray on wax? |

On a side note; once per week?!? That's crazy. You should never wax your car more than you get laid, that's what I always say. |

Yes, wax, methods, environment, and so on all have a huge impact. Once a month should not give issues like he is seeing no matter what though.

I want to say that water can sit right there and leave a ring like that, but I'm not positive.
Really need macro pics of it to really tell what's going on. |

Okay I suggest getting a bucket of water, put a few drops of dishwasher in it, then take a microfiber sponge and dip it, squeeze out the water and then run it thru the area to strip the wax, and then see if that anomaly still exists on the surface.
If you are waxing this much, then you are not using a good quality wax or synthetic sealant that would last. In between waxes you can just use a detailer. |

LOL that's what I'm hoping will not happen! If anything I might just replace the spoiler and get a duck lip anyways xD I like the look better

If it did you would be the first I have heard about. Like I said before the spoilers are not painted on the car so there may have been an issue with it. I would still take it in and see what the dealer has to say about it.

I wonder if something was placed on top of the spoiler at one point without you knowing it.
