yes thatll work. you can wetsand your hood with like 1500+ grit, then use any type of compound such as that and buff it out.

 

Yes, that will work. We use 3M! Good stuff.

 

worked on my friends hood

 

will this alone be enough to remove the fade? by fade do you mean the kind of yellow look it gets when the sun hits it?

 

i used that on my lip took most of it out.

 

Im gonna get that stuff tomorrow and try it out since everyone recommends it.

 

if that doesnt work you may need to get your hood re-clearcoated

 

I looked for it but I couldnt find it.

 

imma get that ...my hood is pretty bad now

 

So you guys are saying i can use that stuff to get the fade marks out of my cf duckbill??

If that's true that's dope!! Where do i sign up!

 

I say you get it off the net. Just go to yahoo and type the product name in and a ton of people sell it.

 

Bringing the thread back to life....Very interesting. My Seibon Hood with only 6 months of use have been fading hard on me. My whole hood looks greenish and i got orange spots. Ill try this product out though. BTW, what brand hoods have you guys use this product on?

ive had my VIS hood since december and i think it already needs it. Imma buy it and see the results

 

Man this is uncomforting to hear. I just spent nearly $500 on my carbon fiber trunk. To have it fad in 6 months?! I should have stuck with stock The only recommendation I heard was to wax it every month.

 

good info.

Im having this same problem but it took 2 years. I got a few questions I'd like to know.......

So you have to wet-sand the hood, then spray the 3m stuff on then buff it out? that's it?

Do you have to wet sand it?

What if it don't work should i re-clear coat it?, if i do that should i wet sand it then buff it or just buff it?

 

I had the same problem with my hood but the only thing I did different was I clay barred my car first and the results were amazing afterwards.

 

You cannot re clearcoat a CF hood, they use a "gel coat".

 

So you have to wet-sand the hood, then spray the 3m stuff on then buff it out? that's it?

 

Cant re clear coat a gel coated cf hood? But you can wet sand and buff back? I dont get it.

 

He's full of ****, you can clear a carbon hood.
