Pic. Of Test spot
My order ofKlasse kit came and and I decided to use the AIO and did a test spot on a 7 year old carbon fiber hood that has a lot of oxidation.
I'm very pleased with the product so far. This was just a single pass by hand and you can see the difference.

Re: Pic. Of Test spot
From the picture you have an uncoated CF panel and what you're seeing is oxidation.
Saw a lot of this in SoCal mostly because the people that sell all the young guys these components don't tell them how to take care of them and that's likely because the manufactures don't know either? I guess everyone thinks a CF component will just look good forever with no care?
Regardless... when removing oxidation use your product heavy or wet, you want plenty of chemical cleaners in the AIO working for you.
Afterwards, be sure to seal it really well with the SG. Don't wash with cheap soaps or any type of detergent soap like dishwashing soap as Carbon Fiber Components, just like single stage paint and gel-coat finish are prone to oxidation.
If you find the AIO not aggressive enough then I've restored a lot of CF using M80, any CF, gel-coat or oxidized single stage paints really likes the rich oil base in the M80 Speed Glaze.

p.s.
Good job on the Test Spot, that's exactly what is mean by doing a Test Spot, working on just a small section to dial-in a successful process.

Not yet. This is just the test spot. I won't be doing much this week as it's supposed to snow tonight and temp. will drop below freezing.

I used Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light in this pic and I think that it makes the CF look a lot better then it really is. But still much better then before.

I'll bet it does look like that...a Brinkmann can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear!
