I have been using Zymol to clean/polish/wax my CF hood and it used to work really well, but now it seems to leave a hazy look to it. At certain angles, it looks really shiny, but when you look at it under bright lights you see the haze.

I've also tried the Meguiar's 3-step system, and that doesn't do anything either. I mean the hood is super slick and really shiny, but it bothers me that certain angles, you see a haziness. What do you guys use to prevent CF hoods from having that hazy/misty look? I'd like to know before buying the entire shelf of polishes/waxes at autozone...

 

I use Klasse on my teg. It's similar to other synthetic/polymer products like Blackfire and Zaino. You should check these out. I highly recommend it. You cannot buy any of these off the shelves in stores; you have to order it. It makes a HUGE difference compared to off-the-shelf products.

 

3M Hand Glaze Polish
Meguiars Show Car Polish #7
Meguiars High Tech Yellow Wax # 26

All good polishes, waxes.

 

usually my hood will haze when I wax it hot. so make sure its cool, somewhat cold, not real hot before you wax, that may reduce haze because when did mine one day in the sun, man, it wouldnt stop hazing for weeks

 

Sweet. Thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna check these out and see what turns up.

 

does it look like steam marks...???? and wavy looking????

 

all of you are talking about waxing your oem hood, a c/f hood is different.:doh:

 

try a carnuba wax instead.

 

aren't c/f hoods clear coated? which is what you are waxing on your paint surface.

 

Yes they are, but basically it's like trying to maintain the glossiness of a black car. My hood is really shiny under the sun and you can't see the haziness, but when you place it under artificial light (like the bright lights at a gas station), certain angles show some kind of haziness.
