Default Re: Srt Wing Rust

I removed my Srt coups rear wing last year & since Daimler had unpainted exposed metal on the wing; (where bolts are attached to hold on the wing & going thru the back hatch), of coarse it began to rust! EXPOSED unpainted metal??? I scraped it down & treated the unpainted metal surface with clear Por 15, then cleaned the painted area it rests on & applied a HUGE bunch of wax, then re-installed that wing. That car is not done! Don't forget to re-install the o-rings & DO NOT over tighten the 4 nuts that hold the wing on!

NOW Car # 2, the srt rag-top is a different story! 1st I removed the entire plate on which the wing rests! I STRONGLY recommend eveyone removes that plate! The junk I found under it was amazing! My car is garaged & not exposed to weather, but still lots of dirt under that plate. Then i removed the wing. Again rust starting to form. I'm currently treating the area with the clear por 15. Then both cars will be treated for rust!
