It's more of a car show thing, but a clean engine always nice and runs cooler.

Nothing fancy, just keep mine clean... Though I have breathers now.

carbon fiber turns yellow as a result of direct exposure to uv over extended periods of time. If you put a couple clear coats on it you wouldn't experience that problem as quickly
