Caterham carbon fiber printed plastic.

If you have seen the 1/12 cycle fender version of this Tamiya kit you know the nose and fenders have a carbon fiber pattern printed in the plastic.  My question is can this be polished without losing the pattern?

Thanks for any help.

Have yet to try it.  Kit is still unbuilt in the stash.  But, I would likely use 1/12 CF decal over it anyway.

What about adding a clear coat to the parts then polish them out.

Thanks guys.  Both good suggestions.  So far I have only done small less complicated parts in c.f..

I would prefer to polish then wax.  Adding a clear coat is just one more thing that can go wrong!!!!
