A good body shop should be able to rub down and re-lacquer, but you really want one that is experienced with carbon.

Is it the carbon itself or the clear coat?
I think it happened on my door inserts. Think my roof is fine though.

It's the clear coat / lacquer, over time it gets oxidised, stone chips can lead to water getting under and the milkiness.

It's easy to sort, the lacquer gets stripped off the carbon and the roof re-lacquered.

As said before, you need a body shop that is savvy with carbon products otherwise they could damage the roof.

I'll be getting mine done at Munich Legends this summer, their bodyshop is very good.
