Default Oxidization Tips

My rear wing keeps oxidizing like one or 2 days after washing and waxing it. What can I do to get rid or it and prevent it. I wash and wax with Meguiars soap and a liquid wax. It goes away then It comes back after sitting in the sun.

Does it rain before it does this? Does it go away with washing?

Something like that more like any humidity in the air...and in Florida all the time........Goes away with a wash and a polish of oxidation remover.

take your wing on, wax the hell out of the entire thing, and wipe it off. Put a light coat of wax on it after and let it sit for an hour in a cool shaded area... inside or something. wipe it off again and it should take care of it.

I'm garaging my car for about a week while I do my calipers...SO i'll definitely be doing that time to pull out the buffer
