What polish to use on a matt carbon fibre frame
Hi everyone
Bit of a noobie on here but been cycling for many years.
What would be the best polish to us on my Canyon matt carbon fibre frame. The instructions suggest hard polish but was wondering it a hard car polish would alter the matt look and make it a satin finish?
Cheers everyone
Bezz

I don't want to make it shiney, just to protect the surface from grease, dirt, snot etc
Have a look on the detailing world forum, there are some polishes specifically made for matt finished cars, but they are all rather pricey, best to have a read on users experiences there.
