I just ordered my hood yesterday and i was wondering whats the best way to keep it from fading and turning yellow??? Should i wax it like once a week or something and which wax would be the best to use?

 

wax it once a week..and i like paste wax it better cuz u can see where u wax..i use a speical kind..my moms dad makes it so idk whats in it..try to park out the sun if you can lol

 

alright cool its gonna be hard to keep it out of the sun though

 

^x2 about trying to avoid the sun. keep it well waxed too that'll help protect the UV protectant clear coat.

 

I can't speak for CF hoods, but I can say that paste waxes last longer than liquid waxes in terms of when they are out in the elements.

Note also there is a difference between Wax and Cleaner Wax. Make sure you don't use a cleaner wax more than about 3 times a year or so. I think I read can wear down the clear coat prematurely if used too often.

 

i thought i read somewhere to have a CF hood clear coated?? i might be wrong?

 

If you have the funds get hood clear coated,the clear coat has UV protectors in it,but also be sure to keep it clean like any paint,and polish and wax it regularly.Most waxes have UV protectants in them and they will help,unless you liev in like Cali,Arizona,Texas,or some other large sun state it should last several years without fading depending on what brand you got.

 

thanks for all the replies..and bzinn i ordered it from racingsloution.com

 

also claybar it every once inwhile it will help to lol
