Default Cleaning carbon fiber

I have a carbon fiber duck bill, and after I wash it, it becomes dull.
Should I use Wax?

Carbon Fiber can be treated as it were normal paint, we have got outstanding results with a Porter Cable and orange pad and the right products.

Sample photos, same location, one roof of a regular car, one carbon fiber hood

( Palm Trees for guideline's)





I hope this helps

I've had my CF hood for a few years now and the best way to keep it lookin good is to wax it just like you would the rest of the car.

most hood manufactures use normal clear just like your car is painted with. Do what you would with normal paint.
