waxing a carbon fiber hood?
 
Just wondering if it was ok to wax a carbon fiber hood, i didnt wax it yet cause im not sure about it, just waxed the rest of my car.

what kind of clear coating is there on the hood. if its some shitty coating then dont wax cuz when u go back to remove wax. u might remove the clear coat too.

go ahead and wax it man. u got the same hood i do..so yeah..its fine

Civicster 10-12-2003 11:53 PM

You can try Mother's too. They're pretty good. Slightly cheaper than Meguir's, been using them and no problems fer me.

Civicster 10-13-2003 01:56 PM

go with meguiars... cant go cheap on show stuff

BoostedCivicZex 10-13-2003 02:32 PM

thanks for the info

Civicster 10-13-2003 04:05 PM

go buy some already. instead of pwhoring

civicdude 10-14-2003 11:36 AM

3m hand glaze is awesome stuff or you can use mothers sealer glaze, or you can use meguires glaze.

As for wax I would agree that meguires is over rated. I would go with kit, or gliptone creme wax. Stay away from cleaner waxes or anything with abrasives in it.

meguiars is not cheap in price for a reason youll get good results i always have

gold class does make dark colors deeper, but thats only til the first drops of water hit it :)

Zaino forms a nice layer of protection, but doesn't have oils so it doesn't darken and richen a dark color...

Mothers is in-between the 2...

That's my observation when I had a black S2000... I tried each of them to compare them...
