GP CF Wing

Does anyone know what I can use on the CF wing to get rid of the gritty feel. It has been there since new. I've tried some Fine Cut cleaner/polish but this seems to scratch too much. Thanks for any help.

if its a factory carbon wing it has been cleared. using clay should get it smooth. after that using a fine polish then a wax should make it nice!! check out detailers paradise for some of the good stuff.

Leave it out in the sun tomorrow Gary, the heat around here will melt it to a nice smooth consistency
