I have a white dc2r with a cf bonnet but the bonnet is old and has a lot of oxidation.

Ive tried using oxidation remover etc and it worked good. I then waxed it to protect it but a few days later half the oxidation came back :(

Don't know what to do anymore.

I was thinking of spraying the cf bonnet champion ship white or a matt black.

Any ideas?

cheers

you can take it to a detailer,
or you can just spray it a different colour.

you need to wax it like 5 to 10 times. after giving it a good polish aswell

your clear coat is deteriorated... if a buff and wax will not maintain the sheen, then it needs to be rubbed back and resprayed in clear... or as you said, CW

slight hand polish on my CF hood and it comes up great.

x2. wet sand it down from 500 to 1200 grit and get it clear coated again
