There is a streak about 60cm long along the spoiler where it has faded. I’ve tried polishing the car numerous times but it doesn’t seem to be fixing the problem. Is there anything I can do to fix it? If I buy touch up paint from ford will it fix it or does touch up paint just work for scratches?
Cheers |

touch up paint will stick out like dogs bollocks, you need to spray it by the sounds of it.

Touch up paint is really only for small (the width of a paper clip / chicken wire) scratches and blemishes. If applied correctly it can be relatively discreet, but for a 60cm streak on a spoiler, I agree with 347mont, it will stand out.
Save yourself the trouble and get a quote on having it sprayed. You don't have to go to the panel shop either - try the mobile paint repair people. I've noticed you're in Melbourne - I had these guys fix a nasty scratch on my LH doors, did a reasonable job too. www.autopaintfix.com.au - Peter will come out and give you a free quote.

take it off. it'll not only save drag and weight but it won't look terrible anymore and your boot struts will last longer!
