Fixing scratches and scrapes on my Scout Carbon paramotor

I've had a few friends ask me how I did this, so I made a video to explain the process. This wasn't my best work because I was focusing on making the video, but it still turned out well. I might go back and touch up some of the spots, but maybe not. This isn't for damage where the carbon fiber is broken and needs proper patching. However, you can use these steps after patching carbon fiber to make it look its best
I imagine this can be done for fixing scratches and scrapes in any carbon fiber, but you may need to use actual polish for the final step instead of wax.

Very much appreciated!

That looked like a pretty decent job there Matt. They say you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but that was great little restoration you did there buddy.

A tip : watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@ericjoel2425]

@Ernesto Lane Yea, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :)

Why wouldn’t you polish with a car polish or two at the end before waxing. IMO, you went this far.

I tried that, and it gets too shiny as compared to the original finish.

Water, not just for plants

🤣 Now only if it grew more carbon fiber....
