0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Maybe try some finishing polish or Revice by hand. A picture would help, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 b_pappy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Really need to see it. It may just be WTP (Water Transfer process), or the top coat on real carbon fiber, either which would act like paint. Bare carbon giber would be a totally different animal. Is the finish very glossy? How deep are the scratches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Try some revive on a blue applicator or some FP/FMP on a 4" white pad by hand. It may take a few passes because you are doing it by hand but it would be the easiest. Edited February 26, 2014 by Kingsford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is it carbon fiber or hydrocarbon? Most likely hydrocarbon (plastic dipped to look like carbon fiber), so don't use any kind of machine on it. Gentle rubbing with Revive should do the trick. But go easy. I've had that stuff bubble up and come off if it's hydrocarbon. Chris@Adams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Adam Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Matt, can you pop that cover off confidently, and polish it on a bench? I'd use a 4" White Pad and a combo of Paint Correcting Polish with Paint Finishing Polish on that bad boy! It would be a mess inside the car though....
