I have just bought a used carbon fiber hood for my EVO. It has minor scratches that do not go all the way through the clear coat or resin top coat and I was wondering if the hood could be treated like a painted body panel (base caot / clear coat). I want to use a light grit compound and polishing creme but don't want to mess anything up more than it is. Any info would be nice.

 

if you burn it, it'll put white dots into the resin

 

buy a clear coat the one that they are using for touch up fill the scratches until its level on the surface then polish it. thats the only way i know how to repair it.

 

get 1000 grid sand paper and wetsand it then pass it ill take everything away.

 

Pass it? If you wetsand any surface with a clear or resin coat you will need to use compound then some kind of glaze or polish.
