Wax on carbon fiber question. Post your opinions!

clear coat it

then u can wax it like regular paint... before i installed all my carbon fiber pieces.. i shot clear on them

no worries about getting yellow or fading

well at least for a while.. nothing lasts forever... but i think adding clear is the best way to prolong carbon

you can buff and polish if it start fading

keep it out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time and wax it with whatever you prefer.

Anyone notice parts of cf looks faded in direct sunlight but on a cloudy day cf looks shiny? Anyways I use optimum spray wax on my cf.
