what kind of wax do I use to keep my cf hood looking new? I heard that I cannot use carnuba wax, is this true?

 

Is the hood oxidized looking?

 

not yet

Where did you hear that from?




Just wash and regularly wax it and you'll be fine.

 

MEGUIARS wax will be good

 

my friend who works at a body shop said not to use carnuba and to wax in one direction, not like the normal wax on wax off style. Is he full of sh%t?

 

we wax hundreds of carbon fiber products a week here and we use carnuba wax and meguires show car glaze. what brand of hood is it. If it has a clear coat you can wax it with anything you wax your car with, if a gel coat you might want to use something like swirl remover because the gel coat is harder and that will get the shine more out of it.

 

you can wax and it will be good offten
just use car wax - MEGUIARS

 

my car came with the hood already installed and there is no brand name on the inside. how can I tell if it is gel coated or not?

 

you can't, you can just use normal car wax on it. It should gleam!

if it ever oxides, wet sand and have a body shop shoot a few coats of clear onto it, and then wetsand and buff afterwards. you'll never need to wax the hood again unless you want it gleeming in the sunlight.
