THAT IS THE QUESTION!!
Now this may sound dumb, but there is obviously a clear coat on my wing, do I want to wax it? What is the best method to clean carbon fiber???
Anyone's help is most appreciated.

Wax on and Wipe off. You should if you want that extra shine. Which products to use? I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
i wax mine all the time.. looks shinier in my opinion..
Waxing will help protect it from the sun's UV rays...less yellowing over the years.
Thanks guys!! I like using Mother's cleaner wax on my car.... so I'll stick with that for the wing... I appreciate the help!
Again i know these are old threads but just to let you guys know that if it's new from the factory than you are good to was as soon as you want.
If it's fresh from a paint ship than it's always best to give the clear and activator time to catalyze.
I never suggest waxing a car or panel that's been freshly painted until a months time has passed.
Better safe than sorry!
use mothers wax, then polish it with stage 2 mothers...cant beat mothers wax!!!
Polish FIRST, THEN wax (unless Mother's is different?).Originally posted by BlackNRedSi

polish = clean/shine.
wax = protect.

Have you guys tried Zymol? It a blue wax that works very well!! You can get it at Walmart. Its not cheap either, its about $12 a bottle. But I think its worth it!!! Try it...
I bought some, haven't gotten to try it yet, but I definitely will. Thanks!!!

You may want to check out Zymol Detail Wax (www.zymol.com/detwax2.htm - don't know how to create a link). It is a carnauba-based wax that does not contain silicones or solvents which are said to be bad for some coatings. I have not tried the Detail, but use the original Zymol wax (Creme formulation) on my Silver EP. Be aware that the Zymol sold in most auto parts stores is not the original Zymol (pricy) and is a combination cleaner-wax. I prefer to clean and wax in separate steps.
My experience with carnauba wax is that while it does not last very long, it produces a deep, brilliant shine.
