Default How can i Revive carbon wrap ?

I have a carbon wrapped bonnet which i need to revive, it seems to have gone a bit whitey in patches, i did use some back to black which worked a treat, until it rained !

i also tried a black polish but again, when it rains it all just washes off.

So, anything i can wipe on it or use on it that is permanent that anyone has tried to give it that blackness back ??

cheers

How about a dye that you would normally use on black bumpers ?

i was told never to use any products on it as it was only a print and would ruin the wrap if i did
i'd say look for companies doin discounts on the stuff and get it redone if it bothers u that much ( there are a few offer 70% discount on the stuff )

303 is THE LEADER in UV Screening Technology. 303 Aerospace Protectant really is like "SPF 40 Sunscreen ... For Your Stuff." Regular use gives 100% Prevention of UV caused slow-fade with regular use. No other "protectant" beautifies as intensely, protects as powerfully or lasts as long.


The World's Most Manufacturer-Recommended Product:
Because of its enduring cosmetic properties, the resistance of 303-treated surfaces to dust, soiling, and staining, its water repellency and unparalleled protective characteristics, manufacturers worldwide recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant.

303 Aerospace Protectant keeps UV-sensitive materials "like new" year after year.

Use on Rubber: Tires, neoprene, latex, door and trunk seals, weather-stripping, EPDM rubber roofs, CV boots, waders, wet suits.

Vinyl: Convertible tops (and the clear vinyl windows), isinglass, marine seating, tonneau covers, car bras, covers, spa covers, pool covers. Inflatable boats: Hypalon, PVC and urethane blends.

Gelcoat fiberglass: Boats, RV's, snowmobiles, jet ski's.

Plastics, acrylics, polycarbonates: Lexan® and acrylic panels, windows, , windshields, covers.

Carbon-fiber/resin composites: Fishing rods, "nude" bike frames.

Finished leather: Upholstery, motorcycle leather, trim, tack, fine apparel.

Pool & Patio: Plastic furniture (not fabric), pool inflatables, slides, covers.

Sailcloth: Dacron® and monofilm






so,for £15 i`ll give it a try, it was mentioned also on detailingworld website by some guys so its been tried on carbon wrap, i suppose it depends on the level of wear

cheers all
