I'm finally getting my new hood put on and I told they guy that I needed some extra clear on the hood to make sure it did not get jacked up, so I will also be getting a car cover to put over my car (i got a new paint job too) while I am at work!

well i got my cf trunk used 4 $300.00 here on the forums a few years back. it was in great shape,no cracks,but it was starting to yellow in the center kinda bad. so i started using this cleaner wax and after about 4 waxing and re polish, it came back to its beauty. now that i have my hood i can i can feel the difference between the two. i wax the hood and trunk once a week ( over kill) but the trunk has stayed the way it was the day i got it. so wax it , and it wont turn to s@#!

i've read on hondatech that they used peanut butter to free up the oxidation(sp?). i don't know how they got that idea but i heard it works wonders.
