When I had a cf hood, I just waxed it at the same time I waxed my car, and it held up fine for years. The lip I never had an issue with fading, but only remember waxing it when I first put it on.

Do you still have the lip? Have you tried the 3M marine products to bring it back to life? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=897677
