Default HELP!! How do I remove the whitish fog on my carbon fiber hood

I just bought a used carbon fiber hood off my friend and its got a lot of that white foggy crap on it. Can it be buffed out? Any ideas on how to get it off? Thanks

the gel coat is fading from the weather...just get it re-cleared and you wont have to worry about it again

You could try to use a oxidation remouver from Meguiars or something befor re clearing it.

wouldn't the faded gel coat still be seen if you simply just spray clearcoat over the top of it? i'd assume you would have to at least get the faded gel coat off first.

You wouldnt just have it recleared over whats already on there. You would have it wet-sanded then recleared .
