:lol: forgot there was heaps!

This stuff cleans it up and uses a kind of paint sealant deal so you can then put a wax over it- brings up the carbon fibre brilliantly :D

I was told to spray a bit of WD40 on it and I laughed so tried it and it brought it up a treat so that has to be the cheapest option i've found

I think he's meaning like a mist effect on the carbon?

That's what I had on mine but this stuff will take it back to actually looking like carbon :)

if you look at the carbon fibre bit from the underside of thespoiler its shiny and looks wll kept (cos its not weathered) but the top side looks like a faded grey/black there is a difference hopefully when this stuff arrives il get it looking better il post pics of b4 and afta!

autoglym bumper care seems to do the trick for me. Just makes it looks new and clean.

My spoiler had to be reprayed ages ago due to a paint defect (who would have imagined that....) and when they lacquered the paint they also lacquered the carbon so it looks nice and shiney even now
