Whats up guys one of my buddies got a brand new m6 and as brand new as it is, it of course needs to be polished and sealed/wax

from what i undersatnd it has a CF roof...anyone owenrs/experts know if CF is typically clear coated or what not? I plan on using Nano with a white ccs pad on PC. the car Itsself is stratus metallic grey.

Should i jus clay the roof and hit it with my sealent and wax?
Will i be able to use nano with white ccs pad on it?
If i apply the sealant/wax should i go with my blue ccs pads at speed 2 or so or by hand?

thanks!

Hmm....I don't know much about CF but I've heard some are gel coated, but I'm sure BMWs have more than that. Start with least aggressiveness, maybe black pad with 106 (since it has no cut and let the polish do the work). If that doesn't do it, then white pad and see what happens :).

My trunk is my victim, pretty dull from oxidation I'm guessing. Yes befores and afters will be taken sir!! I also got a sample from Ong~Bak as well. Thank you two, I know I will love this polish.

Hope the attack works for you Neil! I am just giving you advice from what I've learned from reading lol.

I know for sure it has uv inhibitors and then clear coated so it will not turn yellow in time .. eventually they all turn yellow unless painted over.:)

A lot of Carbon Fiber if not painted has a type of urethane on top of it.

Yes, You should be fine as long as it not too abrasive as I would be very careful using rubbing compound on the carbonfiber.

Yep! Gary is pretty much correct on this one!!:D
