So I sanded all of the material off. Starting off with 500 wet or dry sand paper, then 600 wet, 800 wet, 1000 wet, and finished off with1500 wet

sanding em down to put a nice couple glossy coats of clear on em. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WITH CARBON FIBER PARTS!!! Everyone will tell you the carbon fiber parts you buy from them has a "UV protectant" gel coat on em to protect from the sun...it doesnt protect after a few months. At least in AZ it doesnt haha.
