Does carbon fiber need waxing?
Do we need to wax carbon fiber parts ... M3 roof, front splitters, rear diffuser, etc?
I would think "No" since wax is only used on painted parts, right? Thoughts?

Dang, I was trying to get away with being lazy! Guess more work for me.
I've seen people wax everything ... lights, tires, wheels, windows, tail lights, exhaust. I don't need to go that crazy, right?

actually yes it does if you want it to last long and look good. but be careful what wax you use on it. there is a specific wax 3M sells for its paint protection film.

Invest in a >good< orbital buffer - eliminates much of the 'hard' work.

Sealants these days are pretty damn good in appearance (shine, gloss etc). Really no need for a natural wax. The same couldn't be said 10 years ago.
