It looks rough and some what cloudy and are very noticeable throughout the surface of the hood. Is there any sure/good way to resolve this?
Is the surface swirled? Describe the "spots" that you are seeing a little more in detail for me. You would treat carbon fiber the same as your paint, which means you probably require a polish. Most carbon fiber is gel coated which is very similar to being clear coated so the same processes apply. Another thing to keep in mind, waxes may only hide imperfections they do not remove them. To effectively remove any imperfections or marks on your paint / carbon fiber you will some sort of polish.
