Paint is paint ... most CF is clear coated so go at it like you normally would ... the least aggressive method as possible. If it's gel coated (aftermarket) then you can still use normal practices. This was talked about a few days ago...

why polish it ?? Swirls ?? If not, wouldnt a product like Plexus or Plex-all work as well and give UV protection.

My understanding is that CF body panels are either clear coated or gel coated. If the clear/gel coat gets swirled then the panel looks hazy.
