Question CF wing maintenance

I read somewhere that the CF wing requires to be coated with anti UV sealant or else it will turn yellow overtime? Is that so? Does anyone actually apply that? Thanks.

I was told to keep it waxed often - use Carnuba wax or something stated above. Just takes a few minutes.

The best is Zaino, but you have to order it and it's expensive. I use Mothers or Meguire's products. Can be found at most auto stores.

On CF IMO a polymer/acrylic would be best. A more durable product that leaves a good shine. Cover it with a wax and you have the best combo.

Zaino, Klasse or Blackfire work well with S100 on top
