Jellybean Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Does anybody have an issue with the Spolier Blade on the Supra, across 2-3cm of the edge looks faded and slight browny color appers to be coming through. Whats the best way to fix this? I think it is from the cold air hitting the spolier last winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Try a bit of g6 or g3 compound, i had some yellow discolouring where the dips in the tailgate are next to each side of the spoiler (water had collected and stained it) nothing i tried got rid of it....got a cloth, bit of elbow grease, some g3...good as new.

Jellybean Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is a Metal skeleton through the Blade? Would water be getting inside rusting it? I will try the gtechniq stuff; Super Resin Polish and Wax doesnt seem to be doing anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Im not entirely sure whether the blade has a skeleton...most probably does for structural support, but dont quote me on that one. Id be very surprised if there was water getting inside the spoiler and rusting it inside out. Super resin polish as the title suggest is more of a polish with fillers tbh, wont do much for it...wax will just seal the whole thing....it will not remove any contaminents or discolouration whatsoever. If you have applied wax onto it, you will have to get it off...as using SRP ontop of it will do nada. You need a rubbing compound like Farecla g6 or g3 to work into the surface...it should remove the discolouration as long as its not too deep down. HTH.

Jellybean Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks, Will get Ian to work his magic; I dont have any compounds like that. The freezing conditions caused it while driving, cold air hitting the sharp edge of the blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Are you on about a stock spoiler or trd? If its a stock spoiler there is no metal in there apart from the threads for the bolts to go into at the bottom, the rest is made of something like fibreglass, its all fibre's but dosent use a resin like fg, more like a filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Well give it a go anyway, wont do any harm...let us know if it makes a difference to the discolouration...if you can, get some pics up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 It appears a small hair line crack in the spolier is allowing some water ingress, this is causing the stain on the boot when the water drains out over time Any advice please on options to fix it?
