Carbon Fiber care

Hi guys

Just want to know how should I keep my carbon fiber items in its best condition??

As well I have some scratches on my phone case that's also carbon fiber.
It's the OSIR gloss carbon case... *i know... waste of money*

Just want to know if anyone can give me some pointers in how to remove the scratches!!! = D

Thanks!

Depending on your experience...

EXP - A rotary with a mild polish and pad.
Novice - A DA with a mild polish and pad.

So the overcoat on it is the same as normal paintjob?

Okay just making sure cause I don't know if using the same wash glove and soap will treat it differently. ..

Cool!

The CF has a clear applied. If it doesnt, you bought it from the wrong place!
