im a noob, this is my first post. i searched and found a few posts on this topic but i needed some more help. i have a carbon fiber hood, had it for about a year. a few months back it started to haze so i took it off. now i want to put it back on but want the haze fixed. ive tried a few other meguiars products, like the cleaner was and gold class stuff with a dual action buffer, it looks better for a minute then comes back. ive been told i need it wet sanded and recleared but that runs about $300. i saw the post about the BMW with the carbon fiber hood and it looked similar to mine, and it looked much better afterwards. i just need to know if i go buy those products, is it gonna be what i need or am i gonna waste another $30, and still need to get it wet sanded. ie, scratchx, detailers polish, then wax. below are some pics. thanks.

Why did you take an orbital sander to it?
I would think a dual action machine polisher with deep crystal paint cleaner or #80 may have done the job.Proud owner of the finest looking car in the parking lot.
Switch to Linux. Use energy efficient lightbulbs and appliances. Keep your car well maintained and drive easy to save gas. Eat less fast food. Call your mother and tell her you love her. Try flying a kite. Read a wikipedia article daily. Use Meguiar's.Comment

I am glad it worked out well for you. In the future, to help maintain the hood, and rest of car, you will want to use DC#1, as well as DC#2. This will be a very gentle cleaner, plus more polish to keep it nourished and looking good.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment
