I think there's some stuff you can get to sort this out. If not you may have to get it sanded back and re-laquered as far as I'm aware. I think the cloudyness is caused by moisture getting underneath the laquer.

Mate, I'm not 100% on this so hang on for someone to confirm

You've got to super fine wet grit/sand it down a bit IIRC and re-lacquer it.

There's a post on CTRO where someone has rejuvenated a Mugen style CF rear wing.

Came out looking new.

try machine polish first mine went quite bad and mirky but a machine polish fixed it up good as new think its quite common for buddyclub bonnets to do this

See, all is not lost Chase

ive machine polished and its definatly looking better but im sure i can slightly see cloudyness still but that might just be me, definatly looks better

give it another going over to make sure then seal it up and wax it

oh does the cloudyness dissapear when the car is washed then come back when it is dry? usually a sign that its a surface problem rather than underneath as the water fills in the surface defects making it look ok for a short time, had that quite bad on the cf spoiler i had polish helped but never did manage to save it completely
