i thought i posted it earlier but here it goes again. im going to go look at a CF hood for 200$ and he said he used wax so it has smears on it and i need to check if its a knock off or something. is there way to get that off? i heard you're not supposed to wax CF but i dont' really know. And how do you take your stock hood off and the window squirters. thnx

 

Dish soap will take natural waxes off. Its a synthetic compound you'd need something like a cleaner polish.

I don't know why the wax would cause smears, he sould have kept wiping till the residue was gone *mumbles*

Look on the underside of the hood, you should see a sticker or stamp from the manufactuer in there.

 

wax and fading and crackin and what not really look diffrent
but ya dish washer soap removes wax

 

you apply mixed with water right?

 

ya just dish washer soap and water then just wash the hood like u would normally ur car

 

im going to try my best to get all the dishwash soap out but is it ok if some is left there

 

damn man u snatched that i emailed him as soon as i saw that on craigs list give me a pm with pix when u get it and if u don't like it im in the area

 

yea i emailed him right away. i think i saw it after he posted a few mins ago.the hood is good condition now since i washed it. i can really see the weaves of the CF. can i get this clear coated? cuz in some angles it looks dirty mayb because it was cheap but, if sunlight hits it then bam CF. lol

 

It should have a clear coat on it from the factory. But you can always get it redone

 

yea having it re clear coated and buffed out might really help it shine
