Default Carbon Fiber Oxidation?

Anyone have any good ideas or know of anything that works besides sanding it down and reclearing my hood and duckbill. Both are really dull and oxidized like no other. Someone told me to get a clay bar and use that and then wax it, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Ill get pics up in a bit

i got the same problem on my hood its 5 years old now but i never tried a clay bar, i don't think it would do the job. Sanding and reclearing is an option but it might not work if the pieces are to faded and be carefull you might distort the weave. In the future purchase parts with the gel coat uv protection they last and really work.

I still think that thread should be a sticky.
