Default how to clean carbon fiber

Ok this might sound like a really stupid question but Im only asking because its what a detailer told me. I was told that if I used car wax on my carbon fiber hood, that it would make the clear coat bubble. So how do i go about polishing it? It didnt make sense but since he said hes been detailing cars for a few years, I thought there may be some kind of truth in what he said.

Umm... fail if you have a Carbon hood, is should be epoxyed then buffed to a polish, most people to keep them from fading will take them to a painter or sand them down with like 2k Grit sand paper and toss a few coats of clear on to them!



either way some Wax that has UV protection would be your best bet to keeping you hood nice and shiny!!!
