carbon fiber hood oxidization fix

[BornSticky]

I was working on my gf car and her hood is cf and it looked like complete crap. i have tried polishing it with everything it almost looked like the fibers were separating. I was thinking of just painting in one coat of black then gloss to cover it up, but while i was changing her oil I discovered something. I still had oil on my fingers when i went to close her hood and it left little dots on it i rubbed it and it wiped the white oxidization right off so i did the whole thing and it stayed (unlike polishing) it even leaned the parts that looked like they were separating! i think its the detergent in the oil that does it? no idea just thought it was interesting and that it might help out a couple peeps.

You don't put oil on carbon fiber hood to bring the gloss back
If you want it to be glossy again you would have to wet sand hood, clear coat it, wet sand it again and buff it out.
If you need to know how pm me for instructions.

Synthetic or Regular? Multigrade?

yeah I tried that before too not a good long term solution though haha

you can do the same thing with vegetable oil and primer... instant gloss! lol

Ok so would that be hydrogenated or non hydrogenated oil?
You got your personal lubricants too. KY or how about 'AstroGlide', Ya that'll make the car go faster, coat the hood with that. Zoom Zoom
