Carbon fiber pipes
Was wondering if there was any way to keep Carbon fiber pipes from fading and loosing there strength from UV rays from the sun? Going to get a C/F exhaust if it is possable to keep it looking nice for years. Any help or tips would be great! Thanks -wrench-

I wax mine with Meguiars NXT. It's not at all abrasive and leaves a nice smooth coat. Wash with mild car wash soap.
