if the hood is dull compound it out with a high speed buffer and wash and wax should come out like new if you do it properly. or you wet sand it and spray clearcoat on it.

i guess you've never cleaned a cf hood with peanut butter.

Makes it look like new.

Or he could paint it and tell the sunfading BS to F off.

It helps get wax residue off your trim too from what i have heard, but after the oil fades, your trim will still look as it did minus the residue

My CF is fading from the sun that is why I had asked. Somebody told me a while back instead of getting it re-clearcoated there was a special kind of waxed that he used. Just wondering what you guys thought was best.
