Carbon Fiber Hood help....

My CF hood has taken a beating over the last few years.. and well I don't honestly feel like shelling out the cash to buy a new one.. There has got to be DIY threads on here of guys doing this in the past... Anyone have any good websites, links, or know of threads with guys showing or telling how make a CF hood look new again?

1- Wet sand(600 grit and move up)

2. Rubbing compound

3. Polishing compound

4. Wash with water


I would use a electric buffer, it'll make a big difference compared to hand polishing. The most important step is wet sanding.imo
