Icky CF yellowing...

Hey all...been gone for a while. My Seibon CF hood has let me down. The clear seems good to go, I just took the clay bar to it. But it looks a little yellow. Almost like a carbon/kevlar weave. Any idea on how to reverse this or am I stuck? Should I junk the Seibon and get something else?

happened to my seibon hood as well. It sits in the sun all day which sucks... re-clear it is I guess the way to do it as was said.

thanks all...Kind of blah about this since I am a little **** about my car. Well...I guess if I get a new JDM rear bumper, I can get the hood re-cleared


Thanks again.
