I am about to order a brand new carbon fiber hood for my hatch, and I would like to know the best way to keep it looking brand new. I will be detailing my car again pretty soon, to get it ready for the Charleston meet, and I was just wondering if you can simply polish and wax the hood, just like a regular hood? Thanks

 

i heard to put peanut butter. it makes it shin leave it on for 3 sec... and them clean it off. it takes off the foggy-nessssss and makes it look new.

Dude, did you even read my thread, or are you just attempting to impress me with your awesome knowledge on how to restore a carbon fiber hood that is beginning to fade? I'm sure glad I'm about to spend $500 on a BRAND NEW
hood, so that I can have some idiot tell me how to restore a hood by putting peanut butter on it. I have heard that if you get some jelly and a loaf of bread you can make a pretty good sandwich, which is what you should have done with your peanut butter, instead of putting useless info in my thread. Anyway... I did some searching, and found that the piece can be taken care of like any other painted panel, but I was just thinking that maybe I could get some good advice from the guys in this thread that are familiar with painting and taking care of different types of finishes/materials.

 

LOL, you're spending $500 on a hood for a Honda.

Anybody who would spend $270 on a buffer, would definitely spend $500 on a good hood from a good manufacturer. Sorry I haven't learned how to make my own carbon fiber pieces yet, but I have been meaning to learn!

how does a buffer compare in any way to a hood of a car?
