Try the wax, if that doesn't work then there is always the body shop and have them shoot a new clear coat. good luck

If the clear coat has sepperated, wax wont help at all. Your best bet is to have it lightly sanded and reshot with clear coat. If it hasnt yet sepperated, then try having it buffed out. Either way, dammaged clear coat usually means a little $ unless you are equiped with a gun and compressor.

Unless the people that made the CF hood have never done this before the first layer is a clear gel coat then carbon fiber layers with resin. It may have a clear coat of polyurethane that has baked off and a simple job of sanding it smooth and repainting it with a better clear coat may fix it. The gel coat should not have baked off, unless they were really skimping on materials. Be careful that you do not sand into the CF as it will loose it's visual appeal.
