Need advice to fix the blemishes on the CF spoiler

Hi everyone on the forum, I am planning to fix the blemishes on the CF rear spoiler. And it is the first time deal with the carbon fiber material, so I don't want to make a mistake. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

just curious is this an original one? if so, is your car still under warranty?

It's hard to tell from the pictures but you could buff the clear down alittle bit and re-clearcoat it. If that scratch is actually in the carbon you may be out of luck though.

Yes, it is the original one but is out of warranty cause of the mileage.

I was thinking to sand it down use the 3000 git and then I am not sure do I have to re apply the Polyester Resin or I can just spray the clearcoat on again?

I wouldn't sand it. I think that it might make it look worse. I would use an orbital of some kind with a polish to start. Least risky.

I buffed most of the blemishes out of the original one as well
try using a coarse compound first and finish with a fine polish
should get rid of at least 70% of the blemishes
