This is pretty reliant on the quality, type, and application of resin used in the construction of the CF part. Yellowing can occur pretty rapidly here in the AZ sun particularly on inferior CF parts. The best way to protect your exterior CF parts that will be exposed to the AZ sun/heat is a good quality UV automotive clear coat coupled with a quality UV resin used during production (nothing in a spray can for paint by the way). I have clear coated several of my carbon parts on my other vehicles and have had very good results over the years here in AZ. You can then of course wax them in addition.
