How to protect Carbon Fiber parts

I was wondering if there's any protection i can put on the OEM ZL1 1LE wing and ZL1 Carbon hood insert? It's exposed carbon fiber, though I'm not sure if it's clear coated or UV protected.

Should I ceramic coat it to protect these parts, since I mostly take the car out daily in the afternoon? Or is there another method?

Get them PPF’d. Xpel, 3M, Suntek. Not only does it protect it but the film is self healing so if you get minor scratches or swirls they self heal in the sun and the minor scratches/swirls are gone.
When my car arrives I’m getting the whole car done
