When that happened to my old car, I had it sprayed with clear lacquer & it looked great after.

Mine started going a bit milky, had a word with Jetstream and I was told the original spoilers lacquer was not uv rated so left out in the sun the carbon will just get progressively worse and get into the weave even more! They took the car in, removed the lacquer and removed as much of the white without interfering the weave then they sprayed uv rated lacquer on top. They done what they could, still a bit milky but at least it won't get any worse

Agree with the others, you can't I'm afraid. I bit the bullet last year and had it all sanded back and re-lacquered at great expense by a specialist carbon fibre place.. Look great now though!

That's the only way I think sand back and re laquer. It's expensive to do but only way unfortunately.

why don't you paint it body colour ? be a lot cheaper & although not original to your car, later cars had them painted

I don't like that look tbh. I think I will have it lacquered. The carbon look is good I think.
