Here . Clay bars are supposed to be the answer to everyone's prayers.

Just clay barred my tin top and ended up with a better result than when I TCut it last year, lots of work though!

Zymol carbon wax is not technically for carbon, its for dark coloured cars. Have used it for years and it is fantastic stuff.

Anyway, if the carbon is laquered then any polish/wax will do the trick.

I concur. Any general cutting/polishing paste will do the job. Just don't scorch the surface and don't scratch anything!

Polishing carbon fibre must be a challenge unless it is lacquered.

I used to paint F1 tubs and the carbon was hard enough to key before painting with a DA so I bet you need ceramic polish of something to polish it properly.

Unless you are not looking to remove scratches in which case any fine glaze and polymer wax will do the job.
