can anyone please tell me how to fix a oxidized wing, the body shop wants to charge me 100 dollars, please help me out if you know anything about this

 

How bad is it?? You have any pics?

 

Depending how bad it is you can buff it out. Sounding that the body shop is only saying 100 dollars for it, it doesnt seem that bad. I would get a a heavy cut and a light cutting compound and buff it. Using a wool pad and a foam pad.

 

I am too lazy to find it, but I KNOW there is a thread about this on here.

 

Hey my wing is down to the fiber in some spots and chipping off. I know its horrible that its gotten that bad, but it shouldnt do that in the first place. Can anyone tell me how to get it recleared without tearing up the actual carbon fiber?

 

well this weekend i got bored and did it myself...i sanded it down and then bought the krylon clear coat and it looks good for 20 dollars...oh yah then i waxed the heck out of it.

 

ughh i'll post pics when I get back to my apartment my girlfriend doesn't have a usb so I can connect my camera

 

What I did was take a razor blade and scrape the clear off. It will flake off and make a horrible mess bit it won't harm the CF. I left it dry. I think it looks ok. I may send it in to get cleared again. Oh and it takes a very very very long time to scrape with the razer blade....just take your time.

 

Mine was horrible, one of the worst of seen (last year). I took it to a body shop and they just re cleared it. $100 doesn't sound too bad, just do it

 

Yeah mines pretty bad as well. I too recalled a thread discussing this matter and people describing the restore process.

 

hasnt happened to mine(knock on wood) but anyways heres the link

good luck with everything!

 

Heel I actually followed your thread when I did mine and it turned out great

 

haha well im glad it worked out for you however thats not my thread...i simply tagged it for everyone

 

Are there any threads on how to take apart the wing? My left upright was damaged and the whole wing was replaced two months after I bought the car. I'd like to swap the black part instead of refinishing. Please give me some pointers or show me a thread thanks!
