Default Carbon fiber wax?

Just picked up a 2015 RC F with the carbon fiber package. Do I use regular car wax for the carbon fiber roof and wing or do I need something special?

I use regular wax on the carbon fiber and have been doing it for 7+ years. Never any issues.

PPF would be my recommendation, it will protect it from the sun.

Personally, I would get the PPF done and then have it ceramic coated.

PPF to protect against scratches AND rock chips (the roof skin is like $6k to replace)

And Ceramic coating only because it lasts so much longer than wax. Unless you are a drive thru car wash kind of guy then just use wax as car washes will strip ceramic off in no time.
