Treating Carbon Fiber

I have accented my arctic silver car with Carbon fiber. GT2 wing, mirrors, turbo intake splitters, spoiler, front intake splitters and lip, not to mention most of the interior. I know that carbon fiber tends to fad in sunlight. Are there any good products with UV protection that can keep them looking good and slow the fading process?

Depending on the clearcoat the manufacturer of you CF parts used, you shouldn't have too much trouble w/ CF fading. It's usually the glue or resin used that is inferior making the CF yellow. You treat CF that has a clearcoat much like you would treat the paint. You need to clay, polish, and wax the CF if on the exterior and polish and wax if on the interior. Any high quality wax will have proper UV protection. Some options are Autoglym, Rejex, einszett, and zymol. We treat all the cars detailed by polishing with zymol hd cleanse and various zymol waxes depending on the detail package. Hope this helps.
