Care and maintenance of carbon fibre???

My carbon was lovely and shiny when new, its now gone a bit dull and lifeless.
What is the best technique for keeping your carbon looking perfect/nearly perfect?

Cheers for now,

Sam,
You want to wax your C/F parts as often as possible, use a good car wax with a UV protection in it and if your parts have dulled a bit, first polish them and then wax on wax off wax on wax off and the shine will last.

I have found that WD40 is good for a quick shine on Carbon Fibre before show...

i have come to the conclusion that WD40 is liquid duct tape. it can be used for everything. :D

I use Meguiar's Hi-Tech #26, it works the best, a few coats every time I wash the car and it keeps looking awesome.
