REVHARDSILVERSTONE

Hey Guys, is ther a way to remove the sun damage, color fading on carbin fiber? I park my car outside and the CF really takes a beating. The hood is starting to turn yellow and cant seem to remove the water spots. any advice would be highly appreciated, thanks.

i would wash, dry and inspect
very likely that you need to clay and then polish... should be able to get it new again.

Wasn't there a thread here not too long ago about a guy who restored his CF front lip...

Searching...


**EDIT**

I found it, but it looks like the pictures aren't showing up now...

Don't be a tool Emil.

Some people just wont say what they mean......

The write up is enough without the pics, basically, I just used to treat mine like it was normal bodywork, wash, cut and polish etc

but then, I never keep cars long enough to see long term effects

Sorry,but I don't get It...

Is this supposed to be funny,sarcastic,or plainly stupid .????

There may not be a fix, unfortunately. From reading of the new Corvette ZR-1, sounds like this is one of those "nature of the beast" things that you get with carbon fiber. The new ZR-1 will sport some clear coated carbon, and they've found some sort of chemical additive to add to the paint so it won't do this.
