can I use the same stuff I use on the rest of the car to remove swirls on my carbon fiber wing?

If it is clear coated there should be no problem, but I dont know what you use on the rest of your car. Test it underneath the spoiler first and see if it fogs it up.

Most carbon fibre is laminate, or lacquered. Similar to a clear coat, if not exactly as a clear coat. If it would me i would use my porter cable random orbital and give it a buffing. Should be find to rub on it a bit, just be careful because you never can tell how soft a finish is by looking at it. Use a mild cleaner wax, if that does work use a minor, minor, polish. Perhaps even a aggressive window cleaner. Just stay away from ammonia. I used the spray type window cleaner i get for my detail jobs on sunroofs, and it helps to remove the scratches from toweling. Try that first. It would be safest. Then try the cleaner, and then the polish if that doesnt work. Always, always finish up by waxing. Especially on carbon fiber since it is just a dark material.
Hope it helps
