Rubbing down Carbon Fibre, no no?

Dan · 10-03-2010, 08:09 AM

Just thinking about tarting the little splitters up at the front of the car, they are already looking a bit tired from the odd scratch and stone chip!

I was thinking about rubbing them down to remove the surface blemishes and then re-lacquering them, I have some nice high build stuff at home from my Dad's garage that leaves a lovely deep shine!

What I don't want to do those is fook the splitters up by rubbing the surface down, so long as I only go down to the lacquer it should be ok shouldn't it?

Funnily enough I spoke to Gaz earlier mate thanks! Lol

I'll give this a go, it'll be fine just to finish them off a bit better, they'll get beat to hell around track and going to Germany and back anyway!
