Default How do I remove swirl marks from my carbon fiber roof?

I recently took delivery of a 2016 Z06 with a carbon fiber roof panel. It has some minor scratches and swirl marks in it. Can I use Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with my orbital buffer or should I use something less aggressive? I'm guessing the carbon fiber has a clear coat finish on it. I've had great success with Menzerna polishes on my paint, but I'm a little concerned about using it on the carbon fiber.

Yes the carbon fiber should have a clear coat on it. Treat it like any other painted surface. Start out with the least aggressive method and work your way up until you het the results you want.

This. Treat it just like the painted surfaces. Same clear coat on both.
