You can, although you aren't polishing the carbon fabric itself. Instead, you are polishing the gelcoat, paint, or epoxy matrix that's visible over the carbon fibers. Sanding or polishing through this topcoat can damage the fabric.

How much does carbon fiber weigh?
This depends on the allotropic form of carbon. Please specify the type of carbon.
What mineral does carbon fibre come from?
Typically, carbon fiber is derived from the mineral graphite
Are carbon and graphite same materialwhy?
Carbon fibers are made almost entirely of graphite. Carbon fiber composite, sometimes referred to as "carbon fiber", is made of carbon fibers and a matrix material, which is usually a plastic such as epoxy.
What are carbon fiber wheels made out of?
Carbon fiber wheels are made out of carbon fibers. They are lighter which gives more horsepower to the machine, not porous which means stable, last longer which means safter and cheaper in the long run.
Is carbon fiber tear proof?
Depending on the composte glue material used to bind or finish the fiber. Typically the cheaper alternatives are not however it is alot more fire retardant than most other materials used for similar applications. A resin type glue such as epoxy would be scorch proof but that being said if you heat annything up to a certain point it will combust. everything has its tolerances.
What Type of carbon fibers used for aircraft wings?
For Boieng Fiber- carbon fiber or carbon nano tubes epoxy - kevlar Airbus Fiber- carbon fiber Epoxy - vinyl ester
Which Is lighter carbon fiber or regular car matierial?
Carbon Fiber
Is carbon fiber and kevlar detected by metal detectors?
Carbon Fiber, yes.
Is carbon the same as carbon fiber?
Carbon is non metal as it does not have any metallic properties.
Why is carbon fiber so light?
Basically because Carbon is a relatively light element and carbon fiber is only made of carbon atoms
What cost more carbon fiber or steel?
carbon fiber costs more than steel
How many elements are in carbon fiber?
what are the elements of fiber
Can carbon fiber be made at home?
As far as carbon fiber composites go, yes, quite easily.
How do you make tubular bicycle frame from carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber sheets are actually laid into a mold that molds the outside shape of the carbon fiber. Inside, an inflatible bladder maintains the inside tubular shape. One the carbon fiber is placed inside a "pressure cooker" (under pressure and under high heat), the carbon fiber hardens into it's tubular shape.
Can carbon fiber dent?
No
How much does carbon fiber weigh?
This depends on the allotropic form of carbon. Please specify the type of carbon.
Does carbon fiber burn?
Yes, carbon fiber is indeed flammable and does burn. Carbon fiber is slightly expensive but it known to be very strong and durable.
