How to Fix Faded Carbon Fiber Hood

Refinishing a faded carbon fiber hood is much like restoring any other painted surface. Much of the white glaze found on older carbon fiber parts is actually oxidation in the clear coat, the same as one might find on any painted surface. The main difference between carbon fiber and paint is that the fibrous weave of the material is much more UV-resistant than the colored pigment, meaning it takes much longer to actually lose its dark color. To refinish a carbon hood, you must only get past the layer of white oxidation on the surface with a good polishing system.

Instructions

1 Wash the parts to be refinished to remove surface dirt, as the hard silica can leave scratches in the finish.

2 Remove the layer of surface oxidation and heavier scratches with a microfiber cloth and a medium-duty polishing compound, such as Scratch X. Work the polish in with overlapping 8-inch diameter circles. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as it's not difficult to wear thin spots in the clear coat.

3 Wait for the polish to dry, then buff with a clean towel.

4 Polish the surface further with a high-quality product. Using a good polish is very important on carbon fiber, as the dark color, depth of the weave and several coats of clear hide nothing. Work the polish in gently with overlapping circles using a clean towel.

5 Wait for the polish to dry, then buff with a clean towel.
