Hey what's going on guys I have a carbon trunk that is starting to oxidize.. It's not bad at all right now but getting a little cloudy.. I could just re-buff it with some compound kind of like doing the headlights again but don't want it to start again down the road.. will prepping and clearing at a body shop help for a longer finish?

 

u could try wet sand and then compound, polish and then wax to get the finish back to the way it was when u first bought it.

 

Even wet sanding will be a short time fix, The gel coat these parts have have crapy UV blockers and they give out after a year or so. the best way it to have the hoow wetsanded from 600-800 and then have it recleared. Even a low quality clear will have better UV qualitys than a gelcoat.

 

 

do it right... go to a shop, and just get it refinished... it will look great. Ive done it a few times back in the day because i used to buy and sell carbon

 

Thanks guys for all your help lid is at the shop now....
