Ceramic Coating Carbon Fiber Roof?

what coatings do you all use for your cf roofs or other cf parts? can i use the same coating i would use on paint, such as CQuartz or do i need a coating for plastics like DLux?

Yeah, it still has clearcoat so just treat it like paintwork from a coating perspective

I coated my dry carbon Remus tips with Kamikaze ISM 1.0 - they maintained their matte finish, and clean up perfectly.

I know you are asking what coating for the CF roof but i strongly recommend to PPF the CF roof instead.

Its more for rock chip protection. There were more than 30 chips on my roof from the previous owner. I was able to repair them and then PPFed the front half of the roof.
