I plan to seal and wax my car next weekend. I was wondering what to do with the rear Carbon Fiber wing, if anything.
Thanks, Rich

I use sealant on carbon fiber parts

I'd use sealant as well. Keep it as protected as possible!

it needs to be maintained twice as often as painted surfaces. Durability is out the window in my book because the mineral deposits are gonna start building up regardless and the CF is going to need a cleaner wax at least to get back to looking good again. It's a PITA in my short experience with my CF hood.

I use both.
I've had my CF trunk for 2 years and it's still looks good. I've had some oxidation build up after ~ 6 month of me getting the trunk. After removing oxidation and sealing it every 3 month it hasn't come back.

I have zero experience with CF, but it sounds like you may as well apply both.
