Default CF Hood maintenance

Somebody told me that I should wax my hood constantly because it doesnt have a clear coat. How often do you wax your hood?

Who sees spots of black areas or faded spots on their hood? I think I didn't wax my hood enough.

I see little dents in my hood but I don't feel them. My friend has a CF hood also and he says you can't stop the little dents from occuring.

ebay carbon fiber

the little dents you are refering to are not dents, they are merely imperfections in the weave of the carbon fiber

you get what you pay for

take that back. it has clear coat but it doesnt have that UV stuff to protect it from sunlight. so what kind of CF hood is the best fitment, good weave so i wont see those stupid dents ever, good strong latch, and a strong middle so i cant push the middle? VIS? JDM ****?

spider cracks only get bigger and there is no way to hide them other than paint
