Re: what is wrong with my spoiler?
If you did all that, then I would guess that those are in the base coat (Under the clear).
Also, not saying you did, and by looking at the lines I don't think is the case, but is it possible that you inserted some swirls back into the paint while removing the polish? (Again, not saying you did, just trying to guess)

If it looked like that day one then you should of had the dealer fix it under warranty. Now it's your dime.

Those scratches definitely are not typical swirling. Speaking of swirls, I forgot to mention those as well. Due to my paint color, I can only really see paint swirls at night under halogens like at a gas station. Those 6 rounds of polishing did not even touch the swirls. The swirls were either a crap load of rids that look like swirls or it was repainted with amazingly hard clear. I havn't taken it out at night to take a look after my wet sanding.
The rest of my cars swirls came out easy accept for that spoiler.

TBH I didn't notice it till I started really started getting into detailing months later. Besides, it wasn't a Nissan Dealer, it was a hole in the wall place and I couldn't even get an alignment out of them when I complained about it. Also, it was 6k passed warranty when I bought it.

Re: what is wrong with my spoiler?
I think those look like they are in the base coat. I once had a car that had repair work done on a panel. It had similar looking marks in that panel. I believe it was improper prep before tr clear was applied. Maybe sanding marks from sand paper that was too coarse before clear was applied

That really looks like incipient CC failure to me. But I guess it isn't if you've compounded it 6 times and wet-sanded it and it still hasn't failed.

I've seen that MANY times on Nissan spoilers. I've tried to remedy it a couple times with no success. I think it's clear coat failure.

Re: what is wrong with my spoiler?
Factory cars are painted with en electrostatic process in a controlled environment then baked to ensure the dry spray "melts" and adheres to the surface.
Accessories like spoilers "may" not be finished in the same manor and are not mounted on the vehicle during the main finishing process.
It's quite possible that these are manually finished and those could be sand scratches in the paint then clear coated. If you've wet sanded and polished the finish with no improvement then those are in the color coat, not the clear coat. That said, you have two choices; live with this condition or have it refinished..

I didn't know that Bobby. So it's a similar process to powder coating
