I believe CF is made with epoxy resin which can be wet sanded, compounded and polished to bring it back to it's original condition. You may protect it with any sealant or wax. Perhaps the best would be a polymer selant, as this is what the resin is made of.

I forgot to mention that CF doesn't have a clear coat. It's epoxy (polymer) which is a plastic. I wet sanded and polished my CF Z emblems and made them look like new, after working on them.
