55965, Can I wax my new VIS CF hood?
Posted by snufalufagus040, Aug-26-03 04:06 PM
I just got this carbon fiber hood off eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&mfcisapicommand=ViewItem&item=2424449344

I don't even have the summbitch on yet, but can I wax this thing once I get my hoodpins and get it all on? It's supposed to have a UV protectant on it, and I don't know if wax will help or hurt it. Holler at me. TY. :thumbsup

Yes, you can wax your new VIS Hood. I have one and before it even went on the car it had a coat of Meguiars #26 on it.

I am sure you can wax anything, it just makes everything protected from the weather and shiny looking. I wax my tail lights and head lights. Its an old car show trick to making your car shiny. :thumbsup

Its like gaylord focker once said, "You can wax anything with nipples".


Or something along those lines ...

Or maybe just anything w/ paint.

before you do that make sure you hood has been clear coated....alot of cheaper carbon fiber products just leave a buffer resin finish to them. when they get warm you will actually scratch them. so just beware...VIS is some high quality stuff but better to check then mess up the $500 hood!!!!!
