Question HELP!

ive been noticing recently the my carbon fiber hood/trunk is looking faded but more yeloow/greenish than anything compared to the dark windows/wheels. is this from sun damage or maybe from certain soap/wax? please tell me there is a way to reverse this....? do you guys think its the clear coat turning colors or is it the actual CF? id rather not re-clear....thoughts?

Hmm.. Pic's would help.. Might be from the sun and Rain .. Try just polishing it and then some wax. If you can find 3m there good. You have to find out if it's above or under the clear coat.

Have you been putting Turtle wax on it. I heard if you keep putting turtle wax on the car it turns the green. Thats what I heard. Try stripping the wax off there with dish washing soap and to see if it goes aways.

I think it's the actual CF--it naturally does that when it's exposed to sunlight, unless there's some sort of UV protection in the clearcoat
