my hood is fading!!!!
 
i live in florida and the weather is crazy hot right now and i just started noticing that i have minimual fading on the top of my hood and on the rear spoiler. i wash my car with meguair products every two weeks so i dont think its neglect( i heard its from the sun)are there anyways i can keep it from getting any worst or am i fucked? if i cant prevent it , does anyone know where i can get a carbon fiber hood for a eg civic for a good price?thanks.
(by the way, it is a black car)

just washing it isnt doing anything for the paint, you need to wax it to protect it.

if you havent already get meguairs polish and wax and after you wash it next time use the polish(non-abrasive) followed by the wax.
