I used WD40 on a pair of Pace RC37's and on my Carbon frame,used to come up nice and left a thin film that meant cleaning after was easy,
just don't use anything thats abrasive you will scratch the lacquer.

 what about relacquering them ?

any specific type to use ?

Never needed to, Pace have been using carbon for there forks for many many years infact I think all there forks are carbon,
so expect a very high quality weave and lacquer finish,
If looked after doubt you will never need worry about anything like a relacquer.
enjoy them.

I use Maguire's plastic cleaner and polish. Takes scratches out of laquer.:-)
