Hi guys,

Not sure if this is in the right section but I have a cf bonnet on a ek99-00 and its lost its shine due to too much exposure in the sun. Basically, does any one know professional places where I can make it look shiny smick for a long period of time?.

I know some of you may suggest to go to a panel beater but I have tried cleaning it my self with a buffer and after few days it goes back to 'dull look'.

If any of you can source it that would be greatly appreciated.

Melbourne only =]

Thanks in advanced

any panel beater can do it for you, just ring around and get some quotes then go for the cheapest!

Go to any good reputable paint place, they should have enough knowledge of how far to go with carbon in terms of buffing it back, and get them to apply few layers of clear coat like mentioned and you'll be set
