I don't know the answer to your question, but I've owned a CF hood for about 2 years now, and waxed it A LOT and washed it a lot with no discoloration or fading whatsoever.

it's not bad at all to wax carbon fiber. If you can find a wax that offers UV protection it will actually keep the resin in the hood from yellowing as fast.
