03-09-2010, 08:54 PM
I have a friend i work with that has a carbon fiber hood that is faded likes it needs to be waxed. but i have no idea about them if i am right they have like a gel coating? can you wax it to shine it back up or is there something special you have to do?

APC was like the ugly girl in highschool that always put out. Everybody fucked her, but you never understood why?.You would hope that one day she would calm down and not be such a dirty slut, but she was reckless and contracted AIDS, now shes dead and gone. Heres my ode to APC, the whore of the import industry.thanks for the memories. |

I would get some medium cut polish and see if that take the fade out of it and then step it out if it does. If it doesnt you might have to go to wet sanding but the reclearing would be a good idea.

DO NOT WAX!!! waxing clouds up the clear coat on carbon fiber. the way to test if it needs reclearing is to run water over it. if it goes back to clear when its wet your gonna have to reclear
