I've used the same standard clay/polish/wax procedure on the roof vein spoiler as the rest of the car with no ill effects.

try clay bar, then rubbing compound made by turtle was, and then apply polishing compound also made by turtle wax...works wonders

EDIT: also use meguire's cleaner wax after all that.
