Oh boy, last night my girl and I, well.., long story short someone hairline cracked the clearcoat on my drivers side Carbon Fiber Door Insert. The carbon is covered with 8 coats of clear, so a hairline crack is obviously very noticable.
Imagine your door insert with 8 coats of clearcoat on it. How would you safely go about sanding down that surface so that you could have clear coat re-applied. The only thing I can think of is a dremel, but I wouldnt have a clue on which bit to use.
I know from past experience most body shops wont the prep damaged interior stuff like that because of b.s. excuses , but will spray the clear.

Any Ideas anyone

my best guess would be a fine grit sandpaper and then have it recleared.

Thanks imblown,
Do you think it would be safer to do it by hand to avoid further cracks, or will a dremel be overkill?
