Effetto Mariposa Carbomove (10)
BikeRadar verdict
"Effective, but a bit pricey for how often you might use it"
Effetto Mariposa’s Carbogrip is a silicone resin spray that helps bridge the gap between carbon components, making them grip better.
If you've used it in the past, you might well now be looking to change a component or two – which is where Carbomove comes in.
It not only removes Carbogrip easily, but also comes in handy for freeing all kinds of stuck or partially stuck carbon composite parts without you having to resort to brute force and ignorance.

User review of Effetto Mariposa Carbomove (10)
Surely you only buy something like this if you actually need it, in which case £9.50 sounds pretty good value if your seatpost is stuck in yor carbon frame.

User review of Effetto Mariposa Carbomove (10)
Greast stuff - does what it says on the tin. As per grekkon1 above - expensive? err, definitely no! - lasts for ages and compare it to the cost of new carbon bars/seatpost/frame etc etc if you damage them by relying on brute force only
