I wax my wing often but due to some bad luck I see a few spots that looks hazy. I took it to Max Madsen Countryside, the dealer where I bought my 03, and they told me its normal and to go away. I hate them so much you can't get anything serviced there. One day Im going to go back and just start yelling and protesting outside the dealership when I have some free time. They anger me so much and makes me feel so much regret for buying my car there.

 

32k...2 spots appear, 1 worse than the other. No peeling. Working on getting warrantied.

Waxed often...garage kept for 20K.

 

Mine is in the garage if I'm not driving it and it only has 15,000miles so thats what makes me think its more than just not taking care of it. I had a VIS carbon fiber hood on a civic that was never garaged for almost 2 years and it still looked great.

 

I would agree, mine has also been kept in the garage when not in use as well as waxed regularly since new. 35K miles.

 

hmmm what do u consider "waxed often".... if u think once a month is often.. its not.... wings get waxed twice a month for me

 

There's no reason to wax twice a month. The gelcoat on the wings of many of the early 03's is defective, plain and simple. If it wasn't Mitsu sure wouldn't be replacing them at $1300 a pop.

 

^04s also...mine is getting replaced today.

 

03, 14,500 miles, no issues. But I am so **** I wash and wax it pretty much weekly, and give it a full detail, including polish and wax, 3-4 times a year. Zymol has a wax called japon, specially formulated for the paint formula used on japanese cars, and the wing has only seen that since the day I took it home. But yeah, I would never leave bird $hit on my car for a week, prolly not even overnight if for some reason I got up a 2AM and saw it on my car. It'd get washed at the 24 hr DIY car wash down the street. haha. I am nuts.

 

Will mitsubishi replace calipers if they peel?

 

They replaced mine, YMMV.

 

They replaced my peeling calipers approx. 2 months ago. It is in the dealer now getting the wing and the 4th gear synchro replaced.

I think im gonna take a trip to mitsu.

 

Hey mods why do all of my threads keep getting moved to the Newbie forum? Isn't this a topic of "General" interest?

 

because it is so frequently asked that the newbs will see it better in the newb forum.

 

I have a few spots of what appears to be "bubbles" but I have not seen the dealer about this. i will make it my business to get there soon
