Ok so I bought my prelude a year ago with a carbon fiber hood already on it. I've noticed over time that it is getting to the point where it looks cloudy and looks like complete *** in the center of the hood. I've waxed it a couple times and nothing no change. I went out today and bought a buffer and hoping that it will help once I give it a shot. Has anyone ever had a problem with anything like this.

 

Sounds like the clear coat is slowly being stripped off the hood.

 

Ya that is what I was thinking to. Do you think buffing it will help. I've never really buffed anything before but I was told the friction like heats upthe paint/clearcoat and like resurfaces it. Has anyone ever had a problem with this before.

 

Some other options are sanding it and get it re-clearcoated. Also 3M makes some kind of stuff that works pretty well on this. (I forgot what it was called though) You might have some better luck in the appearance forum. Also if you search that forum I think this has been covered there quite a few times.

 

sounds like its oxidized, buffing would make it look better, but it will come back in a couple weeks.

 

Oh I'm sorry I'll check in other forums. Thanks.

 

who makes your hood?

 

VIS!!!!

 

i had the same problem, VIS suck!!! it only 1yr old and it already fail

 

Ya go to the apearance and cosmetic section. I posted the same thread and I am getting some good replies for help.

 

My seibon is doing it slightly too and i got it in August. Its been well taken care of waxed and washed frequently. Never in snow or anything.

40 beans just to keep my hood blingin' y0! Damn, I think I'll stick to peanut butter.

 

Haha I just went to the body shop they told me 175 to sand and reclear it I'm like damn I'll try peanut butter first lol.

 

Just paint it over with stock paint...looks way better than cf imo.

 

Hey CIFER you said you used that product the Mcguires oxidation remover. You used it on carbon fiber right were you happy with it also how long did it last...

 

I have a Fiber Images carbon hood--and it almost looks like the cloudiness is inside the clearcoat--below the top--so if you just try to buff it out, you won't reach it!!

 

Ya that's what the bodyshop I went to said today. But Idk so many different optios that have worked for some an not others. I don't know what I am going to do...
