I used Meguiers Gold Trim Detailer £5.99 from Halfrauds on my Scott Lowe Lip Spoiler and it has come up really well

Well, need to use up the leftovers on something.

I would use any decent trim dressing, such as 303 Aerospace Protectant, Poorboy's Trim Restorer, etc.

Most carbon fibre bonnets I've come across have been lacquered (compared to spoiler tips, etc, which always seem to be bare), so I would treat them the same as paint, albeit more gently with the polisher. A coat of a quality sealant methinks.

The carbon parts I have started to haze and mist using Meguiars NXT shampoo. I now wash the paint with this and then wash the carbon seperately with a general cleaner from a superstore eg. Cillet Bang etc.

Tried using Megs Gold Class wax for protection but even with a very thin coating it mists after a few days, I have no idea why. I still get a good shine with just a clean though.
