Hey, pals! I noticed a very small crack on my carbon fiber hood. Will the crack get bigger with time and is there anything that I can use to apply on it to prevent it from enlargement or spreading? What can I use to remove small scratches on carbon fiber material (a.k.a. Hood/trunk/wing)?

Thanks!
Al

small scratches you are going to need to wetsand
(1500, 2000, + grit)
to remove the scratches (if they are too deep you can't do much)

while wetsanding you MUST be very careful if you go too far you'll damage the CF and make it dull.

once you've wet sanded, you'll need to polish and wax it.
