Are u sure its not just the clearcoat peeling up or just failing in general?

i believe every carbon fiber hood has a clear coat over it for protection... so i'm assuming any polish would work just fine on it... but if youre sure that it's excess polish on it then you'll need to buff it out or get it buffed if you're not comfortable with doing it yourself... but if it's the clearcoat itself that's messed up then you'll just need to get it re-cleared
