Carbon Fibre Care & Maintenance

We at Strada Prestazioni take pride in our products and is our duty to ensure all customers have the correct guidance on caring and maintaining our carbon fibre products. Caring for automotive carbon fibre parts and accessories is essential to maintain their appearance and durability. Here's a concise guide to help you keep your carbon fibre components in the best condition:

Cleaning:

- Use Gentle Cleaners: Clean carbon fibre parts with a soft microfibre cloth/towel and or a neutral automotive cleaning products. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the clear coat that protects the carbon fibre. DO NOT use regular household towels or cleaning products.

- Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the parts immediately with a soft, microfibre towel to prevent water spots and potential clear coat failure.

UV Protection:

- Limit Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading or oxidation of the clear coat. Whenever possible, park in shaded areas or use a car cover to protect carbon fibre from harmful UV rays.

- Apply Protective Ceramic Coatings: Use automotive waxes or sealants with UV protection every few months to shield the surface and maintain its gloss. Additionally, protect your purchase from scratches and UV rays with our ceramic coating options.

Protection:

- Regular Waxing: Apply automotive wax every few months, especially waxes with UV protection. Waxing helps protect the surface, maintain its gloss, and prevent UV damage. See our ceramic coating options to protect your purchase for even longer!

- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive polishes or paste waxes, as they can damage or strip the epoxy resin coating from the carbon fibre.

Inspection & Maintenance:

- Regular Inspections: Check for cracks, chips, or scratches. Minor scratches can often be polished out, but more significant damage may require professional repair.

- Handle with Care: When installing or removing our carbon fibre parts, use the proper tools and handle them carefully to avoid overtightening or physical damage. While strong, carbon fibre can be sensitive to rough handling.

Summary:

By following these guidelines, you can ensure your carbon fibre automotive parts remain in excellent condition, preserving both their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
