Special cleaning/waxing precautions on Exposed CF Roof Panels

The user manual doesn't really address the clear coated exposed carbon fiber roof panels as far as cleaning and waxing that I could find. From your experiences, do you need to take any extra precautions or not do cleaning or waxing the same as you would for a painted panel?

You can use the exact same processes you use on the rest of the body panels in terms of washing/polishing/waxing/etc.

Since it's clear coated, the base material doesn't matter since you're only operating in/on the clear coat itself.

If it was raw CF, then that's a different animal all together, but you'll be fine with the factory CF.
