FADED CARBON HOOD? WHAT TO DO?

[Doppelgänger]

I used to work with a lot of carbon/composites. The gel coat that gets sprayed into the mold is hard to make work like clear coat when it comes to cleaning since it is less "flexable" to buffing and waxing. I repaired a freinds AE86 carbon hood and when i was done i used a specific wax to clear the hazing. The wax is used to coat parts before being covered in carbon/glass.. its a mold release wax..usually made from beeswax.

gel coat into the molds??? are we talking glass here?
first you use mold release wax, then you spray PVA onto the molds for a good release and from there, you start by brushing resin onto the molds then laying your dry carbon or in the case of pre-preg, you can just start laying up. there really is no kind of clear or anything like that on carbon parts, it is just the resin. ive done composites for quite a while for several different companies and that is all I have ever seen.
