I never said you didint, Don't you think the person before you might of not?

And yes, ZYMOL does help.

 

I was told it is a U/V issue and I've waxed all the time using good wax. Hawaii sun is killer.

 

Whatever, I have used all the top brands and I do it bi-monthly, its really gotten worse within the last month.
Check out my lil thread on the porter cable 7424 https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=162920

 

if this happens on my 2005 and I cant get it warrantied, i'm going to paint the wing tarmac black. at least it wont look so bad because my car is black.

 

mine is oxidizing really bad now.. and I wax this thing every two weeks.. some times putting on 6 coats of wax! Im convinced nothing will prevent this from happening if its gonna happen.

 

mitsu denied me because my wing has "buff marks" does it say in the manual not to buff it? i havent looked

 

Hey sorry man I just posted this thread about 10 min after gettin back from the dealer so I was in a bad mood ....


The point of this thread was actually to find some people who had fixed it themselves and see what they actually did and if they did it at home how they did it. Just like the brembo fix. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

if you really don't want to pay a body shop to do the work then take the wing off, go to the store or call 3M and get some gray scuff pads, scub the whole wing til it looks dull then go to the store buy some clearcoat in a can. Spray the wing with a thin coat from about 8 inches away, then let dry for a hour spray another coat, let dry again then spary on last thick coat. I work autobody I know first hand that it is not hard. If you get some dirt in the clear while it is sprayed after you can wetsand the specks out with like 2000 grit sand paper then buff it with compound. wax and you good as new.

 

OMG THANK YOU!...thats what I was trying to get out of this thread. What I was also wanting to make sure is that the white is in fact the clear coat before I go sand just to find out my CF is actually messed up ( I dont know much about this sorta thing). Also what sort of clear should I get???? THanks for your help man

Lj

 

I'm taking the wing off mine and I'm gonna sand it and reclear it I guess. If it doesn't work I'm just gonna go wingless~

 

well, mines is absolutely horrible looking. I'm scared they're not gonna help me. My whole wing is almost peeled. My car has been garage keep untill about the last 3-4 months and it's gotten so bad. I'm so busy, it's hard for me to get to the dealership. I've only got 21k on my 03.

Is this problem only on 03 models ??

 

looks like it, fingers crossed, I haven't heard of any 05's chiming in. . .but it's also a timing thing, 05's have been out for like 2 years, 03's for 3-4 years, so. . . .

 

There's a poll on another thread and I believe several people with 04 and 05's said they had this problem too.

HiRevnVIII, you asked if the manual mentions buffing. I didn't see any caution on buffing.

I find it almost amazing that some people get denied while others don't and some are told to wax while I'm told waxing is the culprit. You'd think Mitsu would get everybody on the same page. This isn't a cheap part to replace.

 

so I was told you can't paint it and it needs a gel coating. I tried to use clear coat on a blister that popped off down to the carbon fiber and it just soaked in... Dealer said you can't paint repair this too.. Comments?
