It wont.

Salt/road grime does not cause the fading of the gell coat on Carbon Fiber hoods. The fading is caused by direct exposure to the sun.

There is NO WAY to prevent it unless you DA the stock crappy gell coat off and spray a few coats of quality clear coat on the hood. 10 minutes after taking my brand new seibon hood out of the box.......it was in the paint booth getting re-cleared. Thats the only way to insure it will stay looking fresh.
