How should I polish my cf reflectors?

My car came with some carbon fiber rear reflectors but they look a little worn. I'm wanting to get them back to a gloss finish. How would you go about doing this? Should I wetsand them?

Tough to tell if they are just a CF wrap over the stock red reflectors.

Autotechnic does something similar: https://autotecknic.com/products/aut...lectors-f87-m2, but the Autotechnic ones look a bit glossier with a different weave.

Personally I would pop them out before attempting anything and it would tell you what you are dealing with (obviously can not wet sand a wrap/film). You could simply clean them and apply a glossifier.
