ABSOLUTELY wax it. It has a clear coat just like the rest of your car. You use the same wax you use on paint. Symbol and Meguiars are the only two waxes I use.

I use either the Gold Class or the new NXC or whatever the initials are for it. Gold Class is in a black bottle and the new stuff is in a purple/blueish bottle.

I also agree....
goto WalMart:
Mequires NXT car wash - $5.00
" " NXT WAX - $15.00 and change

I used them on my EX-SXT w/ black paint...and my R/T w/ red paint...I noticed more of a difference on the black car, but on the R/T with this WNY snow, its easier to wipe the snow off, and with a hot rinse the car shines. OH WAIT, thats not what you asked....lol

Carbon Fiber products like your hood, etc.etc.. are a product with a HARD clear coat finish, mmm...i think like a boats GEL coat finish. Its thick and solid, but still needs to be cleaned and waxed.
You should start a new forum on .....never mind im going to start one....C-YA
