Both carry our standard finish, a 2K clear coat with UV absorbers over a heat-resistant outer layer, because the engine bay runs hotter than anywhere outside the car and heat is what makes a clear coat yellow over time. For the large majority of owners that is the right choice. On Gloss you can also add our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/carbonxtrem.com\/pages\/carbon%20fiber-vs-wet-carbon-what-s-the-difference#full-thermal-clear-coat\"\u003eFull Thermal Clear Coat\u003c\/a\u003e, where the heat-resistant formulation runs through every layer rather than the outer one alone, the most durable finish we offer for the bay.
