Anyone else cover the carbon fiber on their spoiler while it is parked? When I park at work (sits in the sun for 12 hours) I wrap my spoiler with a towel and secure it with bungies so the wind doesnt blow it off...

My employees think im crazy... Am I?

 

I just went wingless for the summer so I wouldn't have to worry about it. The wingless look tends to grow on ya

 

I luv wingless, but my wife wont let me lol

 

i try to wax it every other month or more, I heard its supposed to help

 

seems a little **** to me. Just take the wing off looks sooo much better and when your wife sees it she'll say "why didnt you do this sooner"

 

or you could just get your wing reclear coated with uv protectan clear coat and you will not have to worry about it anymore.

 

Also forgot to mention I live in az... Its very hot

 

if your worried about the wear on your car from it being parked outside your work for 12 hours get a beater DD you don't care about and keep the evo in the garage.

 

I'm ****, but that's a bit over the top even for me Just wax it every month or two and use spray detailer to keep it clean of environmental fallout, bird poop, etc.

 

In a word, yes. The clear on the CF is fairly soft and smudging it down with a wrapped towel, over the dirt/dust/road grime is truly a bad idea, as is effectively baking the stuff on in a makeshift oven. As mentioned, there are some waxes/sealants that offer long term durability even in your climate. Stop by the detailing forum. Good luck.

 

Or just get a Car Cover.

 

Hmm... Trying to be precautionary as there are many faded/destroyed wings out there.

Also, im not sure I understand your logic on "baking" the dirt in...
Wouldnt a car cover be doing the same thing? Im just isolating the cover to the spoiler...

 

Wrap it with 3M carbon fiber vinyl and call it good

 

A Car Cover breaths, does not contain heat, it cools the entire car. It also keeps the UV rays down quite a bit. California Car Cover makes a nice product, for different conditions, I paid about $200 for mine.

 

Its still good though! My spoiler is flawless!
