If carbon fibre is clear-coated then treat it exactly the same as paint; wash, clay, polish, protect (with either waxes or sealants). The roof on M3 CSL's for example comes up a treat if dealt with the same way as the rest of the bodywork. However, if your carbin fibre is an open weave, then all you can really do is try to clean it thoroughly using a decent all purpose cleaner like P21S Total Auto Wash or Meguiars Safe D-Greaser.

I agree with Polished Bliss, i have carbon bits all over my bikes, just wash as normal and then give them a good coating of wax and a buff and they gleam and you can see the carbon weave better then as well.
