Alright, so this doesn't have to do with my bike, but i know alot of people use CF parts, so maybe someone has some insite.

I have a CF hood on my GTi, and it now looks like ****. its clowdy, scratched up and just kinda looks like someone took a sand blaster too it. I have tried waxing it, but it didn't help.

Is there any special way to like wet sand CF to make it look better? it's all in the clear coat, so i guess it would be just like a clear coat on paint.

I am completely clueless so any thoughts would be great

 

It can be wet-sanded/buffed just like clear coat. BE GENTLE! If you go too far you'll be into the actual fiber, and the piece will be garbage. I wouldn't go any coarser than 600 grit (if it is REALLY bad), but probably starting with 1000 grit is your best bet. 1000-2000-2500-polish compound-wax-sealer. Baby steps will get you there.

wet sand and re clear coat it!!! it will look awsome..

 

that fade is the resin not clesr cpoat and depends on the hood but Rons right hit that with 400 and clear it. use a high UV clear Like SW 731!
