It was in a sorry state when I bought it, It had a crack and the carbon is also pretty poor, there was no lacquer on it, just some kind of wax.

so the wax was stripped and we fixed the crack, and then applied & built up 10 thin layers of gloss resin,with a flat and polish on various coats until we got it right.

It's not perfect, but it was the best we could do with it.
