Carbon Roof Repaired from Florida Sun Damage!

Guys,

I purchased a 2013 M6 in 2016 with less than 8k on it, and this forum has been very helpful since then. Now it's my time to help those of you that need it.

Fast forward to 2023, the sun is brutal in S. Florida! My carbon roof turned yellowish and developed water spots. After checking the threads in the forum, I started to freak out about finding a shop that could repair it.

I talked to 3 body shops including two high-end ones. Both of the high end ones asked right away if it was a BMW, as apparently they get a lot of requests to repair the carbon roofs and said they wouldn't attempt to repair it. They didn't even know what the process was.

Then I found Eurowerks in Pompano Beach and spoke to Patrick, one of the managers and one of the owners, Santos. Both looked at it and they said no problem! They had done many carbon roofs and explained the process.

I'm posting this to help any of you out with a carbon roof issue and need a trust-worthy resource in S. Florida. It's a very clean shop. Patrick and Santos were very reassuring. Santos took me for a tour of the shop, and there were a lot of nicer, high-end cars in for work, and both guys are genuine and passionate about quality.

I just picked up my m6 on fri and the carbon roof is like brand new!! Patrick explained that they removed the top layer (i think what others in the forum call BMW's gel coat) with just a razor blade and start peeling what looks like parchment paper away. This exposes the origin carbon (which is not yellow) and then they CAREFULLY sand. Santos said they finished with 6 coats of clearcoat!

The original before photo is posted, but it rained today and i didn't get to take a photo of the repair and will follow-up and post later this week.

If you need yours repaired in S. FL, I highly recommend Eurowerks! Their info:

Eurowerks
4840 N Powerline Rd
Pompano Beach, Fl
954.478.1888 / Patrick Ardis 954.249.4299

Good luck!
