The difference between dry and wet carbon fiber lies in their manufacturing processes, appearance, weight, strength, and cost. Here's a clear breakdown:

🔧 Manufacturing Process

• Dry Carbon Fiber

  • Also known as pre-preg carbon fiber.

  • The fabric is pre-impregnated with resin and then cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure.

  • Requires specialized tooling and a cleanroom environment.

• Wet Carbon Fiber

  • Fabric is laid into a mold and resin is applied manually (brushed or sprayed).

  • Typically cured at room temperature or in an oven.

  • Easier and cheaper to produce, with less equipment needed.

⚙️ Weight & Strength

• Dry Carbon

  • Lighter and stronger due to precise resin-to-fiber ratio and high-pressure curing.

  • Resin content is minimized, reducing unnecessary weight.

  • Preferred for motorsports and aerospace applications.

• Wet Carbon

  • Heavier due to excess resin, which can also reduce overall strength.

  • Not as structurally efficient as dry carbon.

  • Still very strong compared to metals or plastics.

💎 Appearance

• Dry Carbon

  • Typically has a matte or satin finish, but can be clear-coated for gloss.

  • Clean, uniform weave with no distortion or bubbles.

  • More "technical" and premium in appearance.

• Wet Carbon

  • Often glossy due to the hand-applied resin and clear coat.

  • May have minor imperfections, resin pooling, or weave distortion.

💲 Cost

• Dry Carbon: More expensive due to labor, material cost, and equipment (autoclaves, molds).

• Wet Carbon: Cheaper and more common in cosmetic carbon parts (interior trim, styling pieces).

• ✅ Which One Should You Choose?

  • Dry Carbon: Best for performance-driven applications (hoods, wings, splitters) where weight and strength matter.

  • Wet Carbon: Great for cosmetic upgrades or where budget is a concern.

Regular Cleaning: Maintain carbon fiber parts by cleaning them regularly with a soft cloth and a mixture of mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive or harsh cleaners that could harm the finish.

Use Microfiber Pads and Cloths: Opt for microfiber pads and cloths when cleaning or applying protective coatings to prevent surface scratches.

Protect from Sun and Chemicals: Limit exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, as they can damage carbon fiber. When possible, use protective covers or park your vehicle in shaded areas.
