Thanks!

Actually all the yellowness was the clear/gel coat itself. As it peeled off all of the yellowness came with it. What you see still on CF is just like a powder residue from the gel coat. That can just be cleaned off.

From the looks of it the carbon fiber was completely unharmed. Now that it has actual clear and not gel coat should last longer too.

I am still debating wether to do Xpel clear bra again but for now just coating it with CarPro Reload once a month. Plus its under bmw cover.
