Cleaning/polishing roof spoilers

Oreax · Jun 25th, 2020, 14:19

Hi!

So I recently bought this used Volvo V60 Ocean Race, which has a few scratches and in general hasn't been taken good care of - at all. The roof spoilers look "cloudy" and I was wondering if anyone here would have an idea how or what to clean that with.... clean/polish...

Any help is greatly appreciated. It's also cloudy on the panels around the windows.
I'm not sure how they'd even get like this in the first place. It only drove 120k km / 75k miles.. It's not something you can feel, by running our fingers over it. So it doesn't as such seem like a coating on top... maybe?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

I think they are originally brushed metal then anodized and replicating the finish would be a major if not impossible task

I feared it was something like that. I don’t know how I fell for it, I guess I loved the car, but that salesman promised all kinds of things that can’t actually happen.

Thanks for the answer!
