That is the question..!!

 

Just wondering is anyone waxes there Carbon Fibre Bonnets/Wings etc etc, just I was told once never to wax CF parts are they will loose their shine, but spoke to a company that sells CF sheets and they actually recommend waxing bits, to protect them.

Just wanted to know what other members do..??

 

Thanks

I thought UV rays faded carbon, and (I think) most waxes have some anti-UV properties, so I would think it'll help (plus it'll make the shine a bit deeper)

 

The UV rays wont affect the carbon itself, but it can cause the resin to go milky/cloudy if the resin used in the composite isnt UV stable.
