Carbon fiber hood maintenance

I just installed the Seibon TS hood and was wondering what other guys with carbon fiber hoods are using to clean and polish them?

but make sure to wax it frequently, I've never seen a CF hood look good after a few years of use. The clear coats start peeling, the resin starts to yellow, etc. So make sure you wax it often.

if the clear starts peeling, just get it reshot ... it should only 40-50 bucks at any body shop

If you buy a good high quality cf hood you won't have to worry about peeling. Also, if you keep up with it.
