Cleaning Carbon Fiber
I just got done washing my car, and I was wondering what some of you may use in cleaning and polishing up your CF hood, or what you may know is good for cleaning it.
thanks, and Happy Gobbles!

Re: Cleaning Carbon Fiber
No.
There is a whole 3M product line for that. I can't remember the name either though. The resin/gelcoat used for most carbon hoods is the same polyester resin/gelcoat used for most boats, which is why it works so well. Better ($$$) hoods are made with epoxy, and can't be polished with the same products.
Really though, get the hood clearcoated and you can care for it the same way as the rest of your paintwork.
