Nope I got it from a guy who made it but tried the resin himself! Got it for quite cheap so I thought i'd make it into a little project, should I use epoxy resin or gel coat? What grade sandpaper would you use mate?
OK, so you'll need to get back to a smooth surface without damaging the carbon fibre itself... although it looks like you've got some areas that are barely wetted out.
400 grit will take you a loooong time but will be safer than using something course and blasting through the resin too quickly.
Then you'll want a good quality epoxy resin system with UV stabilisers to give you a finished surface or it'll go yellow over time...
Then 2000 grit and a good polish
Good luck 👍
It's going to take a lot of time to bring that up to scratch. If you're up for the challenge and have some free time to use, you should be able to improve on it. (And pictures if you do go ahead with it!)

Please please be careful you really should be wearing a mask with that stuff and definitely be wearing gloves with any type or Resin.
Only sand in one way and like the other reply say not against the grain.
Good luck with that.
