Default Carbon Fiber Question....

I just got my carbon fiber cargo cover in today. I was wondering is there anything I should put on it to stop the sun from killing it?

I was told getting it re-clear coatedrwould be the best bet.

Any other options out there to protect CF from sun?

A new clear is for an already faded CF. Maybe wax or something, since wax protects the paint of a car.

Well considering carbon fiber hoods have more direct contact from the sun than the cargo cover does it's doubtfull that you will need to do anything extra. Now thats assuming the clear coat thickness is the same.

Ive had my hood for 2 years and have no issues with anything fading.

You are not going to need anything.

hahaha

Reclearing is for a fading hood.

If you just bought the thing you should be fine. just wax it when you wax your whole car after a wash and you should be fine.

Yeah hit it up with some wax and you should be good. Tint would be the best defense though
