CF Hood Oxidized!
Hey guys I got a problem, my CF Hood has pretty much completely oxidized. It looks like **** and It is such an eye sore. Ive done some searching on here and have seen a couple of ways to restore the CF look. Only problem is I don't trust myself enough to use wet sandpaper in fear that I might Fukc up the hood permanently.
So question to be asked is do you know of any chemical compound, a de-oxidizer, or a home remedy that anyone knows of?
I would post pics of the hood but have no idea how to post pics ( noob i know ).. Any help would be appreciated.

My entire 350z except for my front and rear bumpers is composed of carbon fiber parts and its starting to yellow and oxidize the same as the OP's cf hood. Should I perform this same process on all of my CF parts as well?
I was thinking of just painting it but the carbon fiber look is beautiful and makes my car look unique but if its not doable, then paint will suffice? Your thoughts?
Sorry OP for the thread hijack.

He was part of the OT game thread and got banned for not guessing the correct answer
I don't see why not but if possible I would suggest you paint it instead.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago, there were a couple of temporary fixes that I came up with at the time, courtesy of my university chemistry lab (I think I used a couple compounds i made in organic and quant), that temporarily worked but the oxidation always returned. Best bet is to take to a body shop and have it sanded and clear coated. I think I paid like $90 and the hood looked brand new.
Good Luck!
