2015 BMW M4 - Carbon Fiber Roof

I’m recoating (not fully restoring) the carbon fiber roof on my Bimmer. The clear coat was peeling off like crazy. I was surprised at first, but after watching a few videos and reading up on it, recoating it seems pretty doable.

I used 91% isopropyl alcohol to remove some sticky residue and accidentally left an IPA-soaked mechanic towel sitting on an area where the clear coat was already gone. The surface got a little sticky afterward, so I’m assuming the strong IPA may have affected the exposed epoxy/resin.

Does anyone know where I should go from here?
I haven’t sanded this area yet. I’m wondering if I should lightly sand it first and see how it looks, or if the resin needs to be repaired before I continue prepping and clear coating.

Any pros here, or anyone who’s dealt with something similar? Appreciate any advice.
