Use a waxing pad to rub it on.... then wipe it off with a micro fiber towel. once done,you can go over it with a coat of your favorite wax! GL post before and after pics.....

Here are pics off HT





Little test to see what it would do :0


Looking good


application

How long does the PB oils last before you have to re-apply?

Well really its only a temporary solution.

Instead of trying to use the temporary oils of peanut butter, I'd recommend using a polish, glaze and wax/sealant for boats.

Call up some boat shops in the area or a Meguiar's supplier and you should be able to get products from their marine line.

You MUST use these as a preventative measure though and not just for repair after the fact.


**************************************************
A carnuba wax, like other waxes are primarily just protection.

Clay bar cleans the surface and will make the paint or clearcoat feel as smooth as glass. This also will make your product or car easier to detail.

Compounds and polishes are cleaning agents and help to remove oxidation and even color. Compounds can be very harsh and both can cause damage to clearcoat.

Glaze contains oils that make the paint or clearcoat/gelcoat look fresh and new. This is what gives it that wet look. Glaze can also hide some small scratches. Meguiar's has a Hand Polish that contains glazing agents too.

Wax is your final product. Wax is what protects all of your work and your paint. Some people also apply a synthetic sealant before the wax is applied.

Ideally you'd like to find out if your carbon fiber product has a clearcoat (like modern automotive paint) or a gelcoat (like boats and other fiberglass products often have). There are different product lines for each coating.

Depending on how faded it is you may just want to sand and re-clear..
