IMO you can wax the exposed carbon fiber heat extractor.

I wax mine every week with my car washes; HOWEVER, it must be done a certain way:

1. I only wash with Maguiar's Ultimate Soap and water. (don't press too hard)

2. Dry with waffle cloth. (again...don't press too hard)

3. Apply Collinte 9 series wax with clean/new applicator. Its a upper mid tier carnauba wax. Note: polymer waxes may have abrasives and may not be suitable for the exposed carbon coating. Carnauba is not as strong as polymer waxes, but with a high quality carnauba, you should be ok.

4. Remove wax with a HIGH QUALITY rag. (Rag Company: Eagle Edgeless)

5. Repeat every week!!
