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

Hi rig!
I used to work as a sign fitter buddy and used to take sign back to the factory with faded vinyls etc and leave it with the vinyl shop! Now I dont know what the
Lads used to do or use on um! But they come back out looking spanking!? So if u want my advice fella go to a local sign firm n speak to the vinyls dept! That's what they specialise in and have all the magic fluids etc to revive your vinyl !!
Hope this helps chief!!!

A mate who used to do wraps said use baby shampoo. Not sure if he was having a wind up but at a couple of quid a bottle it must be worth a go.
