SupraJames Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I cant believe a high quality wax will damage the carbon, I believe wax isn't abrasive and simply protects, also your carbon will be lacquered and you wont actually be applying it directly to the carbon.

Stan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 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.
