has any one had problems with blotching appearing under the skin of their carbon fibre bonnet, i have been in touch with seibon and they tell me it is a common fault cos the heat of the engine, they told me to wet sand the surface and then get it recoated, any one had to do this?

The dullness is the uv reacting with the clearcoat, but blotching, maybe production fault/ imperfection

 

It seem to be a reaction to heat, as it will stay polished if I don't drive it, but the first time I drive it any distance you can see the dullness starting to reappear.

 

As far as I am concerned it's just part of owning the bonnet
