Ok, I just bought one (carbon fiber hood), and am wondering how you take care of it? Do you wax these things or just wash them?
there is no clear-coat on these hoods, just a gel coating. i clay bar mine twice a month and apply several coats of wax in between.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by deceptakon:
I heard your not supposed to wax it for about a month (just like if you got a new paint job) ... I guess so the clear coat cures. I should get mine in the mail monday as well... any other tips??</font>
i got mine directly from fiberimages, i got a hookup<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Joon525:
Did you guys get your hood from the current or most recent groupbuy that iMoto hosted?

i called fiber directly, but they told me to get it through diablo autosports.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Joon525:

Hmm, is it worth it to put a coat or 2 of clear coat on the hood. I've been comtemplating about it. It doesn't have a sheen to it like clear coat paint<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by HRC:

Who needs sheen when carbon fiber has TEXTURE
