Check the DIY Section. There is somethnig about maintaining CF hoods.

If not. Google it. or used the Search Feature on the Forums. Located at the top.

i would be more inclined to treat it like any other panel on ur car and use a polish/wax, rather than an interior protectant!!

As i just bought one 4 my civic, i have asked the question to a few people with experience with these bonnets and they have told me the same, treat it like a normal panel, just be gentle!!
P.S there's plenty of resin to buff down if you swirl it up anyway!!

You cant treat it like a normal panel,
use the wrong chemical product, fcks it up further mate/create fade marks.

AND all the links you've posted were not the one that included the DIY cleaning your C/F which was posted earlier this year.

THIS is the one you needed.

AND I quote from the opening line

Remember, CF isn't like your normal car pannels.



Best not to use armor all on your C/F Hood.

3m fibreglass boat products is the way to go mate, good for a buff every week to maintain the protective coat and shine
