Detail Spray Question

[XCELR8S]

I have a question for any Adam's member. I was told by my GM dealer that if I use any chemicals including the detail sprays on the carbon fiber under the hood of my 2009 ZR1, it will damage it and cause it to turn milky. The tech bulletin I got with the car says I can wax it and use a wax remover to get any wax spots left in the pores which does not make sense. Is there any chemicals in the Detail spray that would damage the finish on the carbon fiber? Any info would be appreciated.

I'm saying use it, but I do not see a problem with it. I bet GM has some of their chemicals you can use.($$$) I use detail spray on everything, if I did not know better I would probably drink it it smells so good.

Doesn't make any sense to me not to use it. I wouldn't spray it directly onto the carbon fiber, but onto a micro first, then wipe it on.

I dont know what to say. But, there is one way to find out.

I hate to say this but many dealers don't have a clue about what they are selling. Can you post a picture of the pieces under the hood you are thinking of using the detail spray on ?

It shouldn't have any 'pores'. It should be cleared. I think you're good to go. Use it and shine it up!

The hood is carbon fiber and the underside is unpainted.

 

 

 

I don't know if they use the same UV finish that they use on the roof, but I know that would be an expensive mistake if something was to happen, not that I think it would.

I just realized what you said in your first post. You have an 09 ZR1.

 

I hate you.

 

 

 

 

If you mess it up, can I have the car?

I thought we were talking about CF pieces UNDER the hood not the underside of the hood :willy:

My buddy has carbon fiber on his Corvette and uses detail spray and no problems:)

You're completely fine. You can treat the carbon fiber just as you would any normal clear coated finish.
