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.

thats what i was gonna say, its the sunlight that fades the CF not the salt and road grime.
