# The Simple Way to Refinishing Carbon Fiber

**Summary**

**In this article, you will get the details regarding refinishing carbon fiber and McLaren 570s Carbon Fiber and how to utilize this content to know more about them.**


Carbon fiber is lightweight and robust, and it may be used in a wide range of applications. However, many must know that **[refinishing carbon fiber](https://www.exoticcargear.com/product-category/carbon-fiber/)** requires extra attention to ensure a lifetime.

●	**Remedy**
The only proper solution is to remove the oxidation and impurities or, in extreme circumstances, the clear coat. This returns the item to the base gel/resin coat or the carbon weave itself, allowing a new clear coat to be placed.

●	**Oxidation**
This is nearly identical to what happens to headlights that have been exposed to the weather for a few years. This is because the polymers used to create carbon fiber pieces are similar to plastic and react when exposed to UV light (sunlight). This oxidation damages the clear covering of the carbon over time, causing it to seem dull, foggy, and chalky. At that point, no amount of wax or shine will restore the gloss or repair the problem.

**How to Care for [Carbon Fiber](https://www.exoticcargear.com/product-category/custom-carbon-fiber/)**

Care and maintenance will extend the life of a carbon item for years, whether it is new or refinished/restored (after 60 days of curing). The care procedure is relatively straightforward. Wash your automobile regularly with a high-quality car wash, such as Meguiar's Gold Class or Ultimate Wash & Wax. Then, polish it with something like Meguiar's Ultimate Polish or Show Glaze before waxing. 

The polish is vital because it restores necessary polymers to the clear coat, like lotion restores moisture to your skin. Then seal it with a good wax like Meguiar's Ultimate Wax. Keeping the vehicle, especially the carbon sections, waxed is critical for extending the life of the paint and the carbon parts. The 370Z displayed, for example, features a one-of-a-kind carbon roof, interior, front/back trim, and Seibon Carbon front and rear lips. 

The roof is nine years old, the inside is eight, and the lips are one. Despite this, they all retain an OEM degree of shine and brilliance with no apparent oxidation. This was accomplished by keeping good wash and wax routines. Carbon fiber is an expensive investment. Therefore it only makes sense to care after it properly.

**Why Did McLaren 570s Carbon Fiber Stop Producing 570S Models?**

Throughout its life in the McLaren Sports Series, the **[McLaren 570s Carbon Fiber](https://www.exoticcargear.com/
)** range was among its class's most recognizable and highest-performing automobiles. While the McLaren 570S was a remarkable highlight on the racing track and a head-turning marvel of engineering, its styling, performance, and prestige will be felt once the all-new forthcoming McLaren Artura is revealed. The Artura will be a new plug-in hybrid supercar that will replace all Sports Series vehicles.
