Any solutions for protecting the naked carbon trim?

Hello everyone,

Subject says it all pretty much. Due to the material being a naked fiber I'm a bit unsure on the steps to take to protect/coat it with either ceramic or graphene etc. Maybe it doesn't even need anything

What have you done for your trim?

Thank you!

Just to be clear, protect it from what exactly?

The only thing I can think of are the weaves stretching or breaking from people constantly rubbing on them, from the sun, contact with liquids, etc. It's a bit new so research is limited in longevity, but I'm just making predictions. For example alcantara is a fabric as well and that is extremely sensitive to pretty much anything lol

But they're such low traffic areas?

I often think what would it look like to ceramic coat the CF, would it look like a halfway house between dry and gloss and would that look good?

It's not reversible once you do it though as far as I can see.
