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!!
