Ok ive had my CF hood nearly 2 years now and ever since ive gotten it this little problem with it has continued to get worse. Any of you ever get these tiny dust size speckles in your clear coat? They almost look like knicks from rocks but Ive had a CF trunk for around almost 5 months now and its starting on my trunk too.. heres a pic to show you guys what im talking about. Is there any cleaning solutions i can use to clean this shit off, or do the VIS hoods and trunks just have a weak clear coat?

Try using some polish and wax with a buffer first.

well im gonna try this first..I picked up some Mothers Gold Carnauba cleaner wax. Safe for clearcoats and removes oxidation, The guy at kragen said as long as its minor.

Im hoping it works.. if not I gotta wetsand it, and clearcoat it. Thanks for the help, I'll post results.
