CF Hood ?

[smithers584]

ok guys, i just bought a VIS carbon fiber hood from a guy in my town for 200 bucks (oem style). it looks really good, but at a certain angle it looks almost like it was in a hail storm. its only when the lighting is right, but the hood is smooth and i cant feel any dimples. is this normal? maybe just crap on the top of the clear coat? can i buff and wax the hood? sorry, i dont know anything about them but it was cheap and for the most part it looks awesome.

Its carbon fiber who cares if it looks crappy.

That was a very stupid comment.:ugh:

its probably the clear coat. i dont have a carbon hood but on my rear trunk i does the same thing. when its really bright outside i can see awhole bunch of dots and fading but when its shady i cant see anything and its smooth, no bumps.

yeah thats what i was thinking, is it safe to use a rubbing compound and some polish and wax on CF? maybe that would make it look better?

sure why not

It doesnt hurt to try. If it goes wrong you can always re-shoot clear on it. Thats what i did when my CF hood started looking like crap.
