help me out

thanks
ryan~

 

we have a cf hood scoop but sorry i don't know how 2 clean it

 

The hood is just epoxy resin (unless its been clear coated), if your having problems with your finish you can always wet sand it and progressively going from some 800 grit all the way to polishing compound. Fiberglass resins can be "finished" just like automotive paints. Or you could have it cleared...

 

steve,

hit me up asap.. sounds like u know what ur doing

let me know..

i'd be happy to learn from u master!

 

Talk to Leo (DetailAddict).

 

y, thought about that..

but honestly, it needs a new clear coat..

the clear coat has cracked in some spots..
so im just looking for a quick fix for now until i get the money to reclear it

 

Why not? I didn't say that you had to purchase his CF restoration service. I am sure if you dropped him a PM, letting him know the details of your CF hood, he can help you troubleshoot what needs to be done in order to make it look nicer.

 

ok... i will thanks..

 

clay bar, polish with a buffer it will take off all the oxidation... that will last u a few months.. or u can clay bar, polish with a buffer then reclear coat it then youll be good.
