Now I got an Carbon Fiber hood on my car... Like what you should know =P. But anyways I what to ask What is the best way to mantain it and have it lasted the longest it should.

If for any help thanks

 

Just like the rest of the car, wash and wax it. Clay and polish when needed.

 

.......... OK . Thank I this whated to ask if there was something diffent I should do when I was washing it.

 

wax just like the rest of the car. when it fades bad u can wet sand it and re clear it

 

what you should do is take it to a paint shop and have them spray automotive clear coat on it. it will last twice as long. and obviously wash and wax it

 

i 2nd this, most hoods have a like a boat epoxy gel coat not a clear coat. go get it clear coated and save the money and heartache later down the road.

 

this would be a good idea but slightly unnecesary. up to you if you wana spend extra money now, or do it a few years down the road.

 

it doesnt even cost 100 bucks to spray clear coat on a cf hood.

most companies just use resin, and put wax on it.

 

use ''liquid glass'' wax (from autozone or pepboys etc) on anything u would take water and soap to. rims, wndows, headlights... TRUST! u will be surprised

 

I was think that. Because in 2 more week my HOLE car is getting redone and I have an CF Hood and CF ZC spoiler. So yeah i'm thinking that i'm goin to have it do that.... Hey thanks



P.S. This to let you know I have an 91 CRX Base. I this whated to post it with the 06+ civic's because all you guys are more chili then the CRX guys.

 

thanks man

we accept you into our sanction

here's a cold one on me!

 

I have know many people that have had carbon fiber products, from all different companies, and they have all had fading/hazing issues. Like the others said, the absolute best way to keep it in great shape, is to have it clear coated.

 

i bought a no-name cf hood for my integra 3.5 years ago and it still looks like new (other than a crack from a crash). the hood's never seen the inside of a garage since installation. never been waxed either . guess no-name quality isn't always bad. only cost $350 shipped from a h-t sponsor.
