You were close in your link, instead, locate the "Popular Tags" box in the right hand column of the forum homepage and then find the word or tag carbon fiber and if you click on it you'll get these threads that all talk about fixing carbon fiber components.

Carbon fiber is either clear coated, (More expensive components), or it's straight resin and if it's straight resin then it will oxidize and what you want to do is to remove the oxidation and use something with our polishing oils to penetrated into the resin and maintain it's clarity. After that you would wax it or apply a paint sealant.

A great combo for a lightly oxidized carbon fiber surface is to use M80 Speed Glaze and follow this with a couple of coats of wax.

If it's white and chalky looking then use Ultimate Compound, followed by some kind of Meguiar's polish and then a wax.

Note that after you fix the problem you have to actively maintain the finish because nothing lasts forever and straight resin tends to oxidize easily.


Be sure to click the link above and read through the threads and look at the pictures...

The M80 Speed Glaze is the polish, so you would

UC
M80
Seal the paint

As for which wax or paint sealant to use I'll leave that up to you, NXT Tech Wax liquid is a good choice.
