Carbon fiber dash pad.

If you have access to a large oven, you may want to do a post-cure. Contact the resin manufacturer and ask them about the recommended post curing times and temperature stepping. It will make the finished part tougher. It will crosslink the resin bonds better. The finished part will be harder, more resistant to scratching, and it will be MUCH easier to finish by wet sanding it. We use different programs for the stuff we make to give the different parts certain properties. Fuselage is different from wings, is different from spars et cetera.

Be very careful to not sand through the top resin layers to the carbon cloth. It is much softer than the resin. If you do, the appearance will be significantly altered.
ALSO, when you do multiple layers, let them cure or do them within about half an hour of each other (this will vary depending on the type of resin that you are using so contact the manufacturer for confirmation). Between each layer of resin, wash the surface with soap and water and a good brush. Soap and water will get rid of the amines (they are like wax). The surface will be covered in amines and failing to remove them can weaken the finished part. You may get delamination between layers, the resin in the different layers is more likely to have issues bonding.

Also, when you do an initial layup with carbon, make sure that the surface has a decent amount of resin and stipple the cloth with your brush. Trimming the brush and using thin Zap-a-gap/CA/Superglue at the base to hold in any loose bristles will make your life much easier. Stippling the cloth with the brush helps pull the resin through the cloth, giving you better saturation, fewer bubbles and other issues. Do NOT pull on wet cloth if at all possible.

The pictures so far look really good.

Make sure that the resin is cured (check with the manufacturer for cure times) before sanding it. Sanding on soft resin sucks. You probably won't need to go past a 1200 grit wet sanding. If you decide to try buffing it, don't. You can wax it though.
