How to restore Carbon Fiber

Carbon Fiber is a technologically advanced construction material used in new cars and trucks, as well as race cars around the world. The lightweight material is stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight. Carbon fiber can often fade, discolor, and oxidize when left in the sun . In this video, Greg shows you the proper way to restore carbon fiber back to original condition. Using machine polishing, the surface was easily restored and protected to make sure the red 370Z says looking the best.

I'm with you on that man! I'm a composite fabricator and this process looks like it takes too long, imagine doing this slow process on an entire hood! best results are to start over with resin, its not going to hurt the resin one bit.

Straight buffing isn't the best method, you can tell from the video that the surface was uneven. The best method is to wetsand to a smooth finish then lightly buff to a gloss and protect. That's how I've been restoring CF for the last 3 years after poor results from just using a bugging pad.
