That's an easy fix. Just sand the whole thing with 400 wet, and clear coat it with a UV protectant clear coat. Try not to sand down to the carbon fiber weave, also take it off the car it'll be easier to work on the spoiler. And after a few days polish the entire clear coat for it to shine really nice.

I've done a few carbon fiber parts. Also if you're planning on buying more CF parts, clear coat them with a UV protectant clear coat & you'll prevent that oxidation.
