I was planning to get a few carbon fiber pieces for my GS like Tom's, Elvin, Aimgain, etc. What do you guys recommend to protect the carbon fiber from the sun? My car is parked outside 90% of the time. I used to own a G37 coupe with a couple carbon pieces, but I had to polish and wax at least once a month to prevent the sun from destroying the carbon fiber. The New Orleans heat is brutal on carbon fiber. I don't feel like polishing and waxing over and over again like I did for my G37 because it was time consuming especially during summer I had to do it twice a month.

Should be able to use paint protection film but you might need a type that is designed for more matte finishes, or are the pieces high gloss? PPF makes a huge difference easy to see the effects when you remove it from a hood that was only partially protected. Paint is darker where the PPF was.

Clear wrap and ceramic coating should help a ton in battling the sun - otherwise be good with constantly applying UV protectant (I think 303 makes a spray, so that shouldn't take much time)

Ceramic coat at a minimum. Should do a decent job preventing yellowing.
