AFAIK, most CF materials don't have clearcoats on the finished pieces. The clear stuff is actually the resin. The 3M clearbra is very good stuff. I have it on my truck and it's been there since new. Over three years and 115,000 miles. All that time only one rock has actually made it through the material. It's very clear and only when it is dirty do the lines really show up. I also get asked quite a bit by folks that have never seen it, "Who cut your hood in a straight line?" But that only happens when it's dirty, like it is now. Dang snow and salt roads!!!!
