Hey guys Need some ideas about what to do, the sun have destroyed my rear wing and front spoiler.(Seibon)
Any way to restore it? a least the spoiler
The car was washed every Saturday and waxed every couple of months the wing probably need to be redone or plasticdip the bad area.

As Cux350z says rub down with fine wet and dry until you've got rid of the bad bits and then get it clearcoated to protect it again. Keep plastidip well away from it, that'll make it look godawfull

most CF that comes out from china is not UV clear'd. just with gel coat.

this will be hard to fix since the damage is to the resin/gel coat.

sanding might help a little bit. but you may still see some of the lines/ghosting from the previous damage.

Thanks for the replies
I'm going to do the clear coat temporary and see what happen.
I live across the street from the Biscayne Bay and park at work less than 50 ft from the water so I don't expect it to last much, but hope the car look better or I will have to paint the parts the same color of the car.
thanks

You will need to sand it otherwise the damage will still show through the clear

I went through something similar when I repaired my NISMO B-pillars
