Default How to prevint your carbin fiber hood from looking like sh#t and how to fix it if it already does.

I just did this to mine this week. It will only cost you about 50 bucks and you will never have to wax your hood again. Or your hood will never dull, and stay looking brand new. It will take only one day to do.

well to keep you from going hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm.
It is pritty easy. You water down you hood and sand it with 1000 grit sand paper. Keep the hood wet. sand up and down no left to right. Sand the hood till it looks dull. Then wipe it down ..Make sure no dust or anything is on the hood. if there is you will get fish eyeing on the hood. Then after the hood is all wiped down. You can clear coat the hood. Thats it. Just a coat or two of clear coat and problim solved. The hood comes out looking brand spanking new. If you want I can get pics up of mine.
