How can I rejuvenate the clear coat on my pillars.

My Cabon Fiber pillars are starting to turn a white haze. I've tried waxing them but it didn't do anything, maybe made it worse. Anyone know of a way to make them clear again? I think the clear coat is an epoxy if that helps. Also if I got a Carbon Fiber hood would it turn to a white haze like this also?

Let's say they're coated with a paint or paint-like finish of some kind. What wax did you use on it? Have you tried polishing it and what polishes do you have, if any?

Can you describe the "haze" any better? Is it rough, does it look like it's just on the surface, etc, etc?

I'd try polish, maybe even rubbing compound seeing as the finish is pretty thick, so there should be some room to remove material. If you do compound them, make sure to polish them afterwards though.
