You should smoke it out....

 

My seibon is doing well so far, I use Black Magic and Meguiars, but the guy put 15 coats of clear on my hood. I'm thinking it may be good for awhile!

 

just pray for the sun god apollo to show mercy.

 

so what did you end up doing? i am curious to see how your CF came out my seibon hood seems like its starting to fade, the CF isnt as dark as it is new and in the sun you can start too see the yellowing ughh.

 

I had a very faded cf hood. I did some searching and found several articles n the restoration of cf. here is a link to one.

I tried this myself and found some improvement. But My hood had seen better days. At the time i was getting the body kit painted i decided t go ahead and spray the hood (vis) with a new clear coat.

first I wet sanded it with 600 grit paper


then I used some acetone to clean any particles and stuff that may hurt the clear coat. Make sure to get ALL the wax off the hood. You will immediately see line pop up in little scratches that have wax in them. clear coat on top of wax=not a good thing.
Then 5 coats of clear


Wet sand again to remove any dust or bubles, and polish to perfection.


final product=


Its been several months now and it still looks great. Oh, the car has been in a garage for allot of the time but it should hold up good.
Hope this helps you and others.
I can say that i am happy with the results

 

^^very nice mini-write up guy. my cf hood is also starting to have fade spots after 2 years. i shall refer back to this thread when the time comes.

 

wax protects the cf clearcoat and cf from cracking and fading..

 

Nice work Incrphis. I'm thinking about reclearcoating my hood for some more shine. I have the same hood, only it's for an 05.
