Like the title says what do you use on CF? I am talking stuff like the ZR1 or CF hoods and wings etc... I think Chevy recommends a clear or white wax. I am pretty sure Zaino works well also but wanted to hear what all of you use.



What do you use for a LSP?



What do you use for polishing?
 
for most OEM applications CF work is covered in clear for an improved surface finish, so treat it like any other clear coated finish. Most true CF in racing applications is not cleared over and has a semi-gloss or satin finish.
 
Whatever you use, make sure it has some type of claimed UV protection.



The gel coat stuff tends to turn yellow from sun exposure. Porsche CF especially.

Don't forget the interior CF also.
 
As said above, if it's been clearcoated with an automotive clear it's just like the rest of the car.



if it hasn't been clearcoated, it definately should be, otherwise it will more-than-likely yellow in time. I know some manufacturers say the resin they use is uv-resistant, but I don't buy it.
