Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior my spoiler is friggin chipping!

does anybody else have this problem? the gloss from the spoiler is just flaking off!! nothing on the body of the car is chipping or anything just the top of the spoiler what is up with this? i wash the car once every week and WAX the car once every month! this is some big BS!! o well i do plan on going wingless when i finally get the wings west though.. but yea i'll get a pic tomorrow


ps. i was really going to wait till i get my wings west to go wingless.. but since this BS is happening should i go ahead and try going wingless now?

heres a chop i did.. should i try wingless?

i don't think your supposed to wax the car that much. but in any event i can see my clear coat separating in somw very microscopic areas but no chipping yet. sorry to hear.

yea no paint is coming off, its the clear coat.. i dont get it.. its a new car

waxing once a month is a bit excessive...

exactly what mine was doing.. it was seperating in lil small white spots.. but today was the day.. the beginning of the end.. it started to flake off

yeah mine is coming off on the spoiler too. starting to get worse and worse. i have a couple more spots on my car where that is happening too. pisses me off!!

Actually according to Meguires and Mothers, you should wax any dark colored car 8-12 times a year.

thats what i thought..

is that dean's supra???

maybe too much waxing

you can't wax too much, but you can OVER wax, as in buff the shit out of the clear coat and break it down.

I used to wax my car at least 2 times a month, shined great even after 4 years.

The problem, is people use too much wax, and have to really buff it to get it out, and it ends up wearing it down.

Go wingless, looks good.

yeah the trd wing i bought was chipped all to hell and the guy i got it from said it had only been on the car for a year. that's ok though, repainted everything .

well i took the spoiler off today.. i dont know if i should leave it off.. it looks alrite, but i dont know.

I think it looks good

i dont like the wheels
thats just me though. I dont like black, but gunmetal is ok.

^^^dont listen to them lol, i love your black rims!! but definetly keep the spoiler on before you get the wings west kit...dont go wingless just yet

i dont know but you can't even see the rims. Its all good though cus each person has thier own tastes. What i like might be shit to somone else.

I don't personally like wingless...but i'm not saying it looks BAD...it's like asking vanilla or chocolate or somethin like that...it depends on what you feel like doin with ur car...and what ur style is...wing and wingless both can look equally impressive if done right IMO

Yes it is.

We took more pics at lake fairfax this weekend. Cuz we are addicted to takin pics of our cars. So vain.

Rem i think you wax ur car too much man... what... you waxed it last week and the week b4 that? Waxing it that often may be the problem dude. but i say take that spolier off and shave that shiznit... looks sweet, even without a kit because your cars so slammed.

Yea I had the same problem and it just got worse in the florida rainstorms so I just got it stripped and repainted professionally. I thought it was just my car but apparently not. The shop that repainted it said that whomever clearcoated it probably didn't let it sit enough or bake enough so it didn't bond with the paint correctly. Or something along those lines. Either way it looks brand new now.

heres another pic of the wingless action lol... im puttin the wing back on tomorrow.. or should i?? LOL i cant make up my damn mind!! Gah! oh yea this thread is not about my wheels so leave that alone!!!

mine is doing the exact same thing on the drives side of the rear bumper...it sucks a lot...what an eyesore. at least you can get rid of yours.

the spoiler wasnt in that bad of shape to begin with, but i kinda like the spoilerless look since ur car has such a small profile.

i guess so yea

i like the wingless look

wingless=

yea wingless

we're meeting up in annapolis this sunday, care to stop by??? check the east coast page...

who is "were"

Not a wingless fan, but it doesnt look bad with your setup. Try using Meguires new wax on the bad spots...

Nothing even comes close to this amazing product. If you're planning on entering a car show or cruise or just showing off, you won't want to be without this product.

Here is what this awesome product will do:
- Your paint will be darker and richer and the shine will be the deepest, clearest you've ever seen.

Stuff is a little expensive, but I tried it a while ago and I wont use anything else. Make sure you use a buffer with a good soft sponge pad and cover on it.

yea wingless looks tight. i wax mines every 2 months and never had any probs. That turtle wax ultra is awesome

didja change ur mind? haha in the other thread you said

"i was without a wing for about a week waiting on my TRD wing. the car was so ugly i was embarasssed to go out in the streets."
