or if it too deap you gotta shoot clear over it

 

we sell a special polish just for carbon fiber products that we make so it gets them looking like glass

 

wet sand and buff...then spray it with some clear coat? i have not done it before so how do i wet sand?

 

sand with 1000 grit sand paper or finer with water on the surface untill the scratch is gond then buff it with buffing compound (you can get compound at most auto stores) if you dont have a buffer then you can do it by hand it just takes longer basicly rub the compound on like car wax and wipe off keep in mind the higher the grit in sand paper the less buffing you have to do

 

wont wet sanding or buffing damage the carbon fiber or leave more scratches?

 

wet sanding only takes out a very small amount of material at a time, like i said befor depending on the savarity of the scratch if the scratch goes through the the clear gel coat and into the carbon fiber itself then you will never get it out but if the scratch is only in the clear coat then it can be sanded out and the shine can be brought back with buffing

 

ok koo good looking our TurbO! i will post up before and after picks and let yall determine the results!!

 

So I just scratched my hood about 4 inches long . Can I just wetsand that area or do I have to do the whole hood?

 

Anyone?
