i believe most carbon fiber products are protected by a clear coat and UV coating from the manufacturer. all that is needed to keep the original luster is the same maintenance you would show the rest of your car. washing, polishing, and waxing when you do the rest of your car is all my friends and i do to our carbon fiber accessories.
