What's the best way to remove it? Trying to sell mine, but would like to remove some oxidation before I do so. Also, what's the going price? I'm putting up an ad on craigslist soon. Thanks for any help and insight

 

i'd try claybar. if that doesnt work, you're gonna have to get it re-clear coated. btw where are you located?

 

ok thanks for the help. im going to try my friends PC as well, try and polish it out and finish with some sealant.

i'm located in southern california

 

don't post any links here or your thread will get locked.

if you're in OC/LA area you can go to the meguiar's classes and ask them there. its free. Its located in the Headquarters in Irvine near the 55 fwy

 

if i cant post links here, where can i post? lol.. im not selling anything. this thread is made solely for the purpose of CF hood maintenance.

 

Then just talk about the maintenance to your hood and not the sale and you'll be fine. I would try claybar as well

 

head over to the wash andd wax forums and post a thread there talk with Exceldetail who is a professional detailing guru he should be able to help u out also be sure to post pics so he can see it.

 

When you say oxidation, do you mean yellowing? Cuz Carbon Fiber doesn't rust.

 

Not necessarily. If you flat out make a thread about your sale or post selling info in a thread, that violates Black Market rules. But, if you have a thread in the black market and have an existing thread that pertains to that problem/item, etc., than you can post a link to your for sale thread in the black market.

Take a look at these.

if it's oxidation you can easily remove it with a little liquid compound and a high-speed buffer. it does NOT have to be repainted.

 

My CF hood has lot's of faded spots and that is sucks. I store it in the basement for about a yr. I tried taking it to a bodyshop and all they said was that it wasn't removable. They just didn't want to spend the time. I also want to get rid of my hood just for that purpose unless I get a do it yourself instructions.

 

my hood is mint. mainly because it sits in my garage from november-april.

apparently VIS hoods arent that good though. but we had to take what we could get. i would have preferred seibon though.

ok thanks for all the help fellas. i'm going to try the PC on it tomorrow or later this week and see if i can't get it better. most of the oxidation is pretty minor and near the top of the hood. rest of it is pretty sweet

 

just wet sand the hood and clear coat!! good as new. PM me if you have any questions!
