A nice sand and clear coat. Cleat coat has to be done every so often. (year or so) Keep it in the shade or a garage...

interesting, thanks

so, am I to understand that if you have any carbon fiber body panels on your s2000, they need to be re-cleared every year or so? And, doesn't the CF just fade underneath the clearcoat?

ummmmmm..........no thanks.

metal good, paint good.....all is good.

As far as I know its just because of the UV. Part of the problem is that most of the CF parts they sell (specially the cheaper ones) dont use quality clear coats.

You might try 303 to block the rays. easier and cheaper than re coating all the time.

Thought I posted this before, but it didn't show up.

Interesting stuff about UV damage.

thanks, that sounds a lil easier than re coating every year

It's the only thing I'll put on tires or plastic.
