Not sure what you mean by a "carbon fiber size" ...
But if you have an exposed carbon fiber splitter, and the blemishes are just in the clear coat, you can wet sand with 2000 grit to get the clear coat off the areas and rough up the rest of the surface, and then just hit it with a few coats of regular automotive clear coat. Or have any paint shop do it for you. Got to be cheaper than a new real CF splitter.
