How to Deal with Yellowing of White Cars?
2 Answers
If the car has slight yellowing, you can apply polishing wax after washing the car. This will help remove the yellow stains and prevent the paint from aging. Additionally, you can first perform polishing to remove the yellowed paint, then proceed with a paint crystal coating service. After completion, your car will instantly look bright and new again. Repainting is quite different from the original factory paint. If there are no other options, then repainting is the only solution. It's best to choose the highest quality paint and have the repainting done at a 4S shop.
This problem is way too common. My neighbor's white SUV turned as yellow as a banana last year. It all boils down to paint oxidation plus sun and rain damage. The simplest solution is regular waxing – white cars need it at least every two months, acting like a screen protector for your phone to block UV rays. Avoid using highly alkaline cleaners when washing, especially those quick foam brushes at roadside stalls which are the worst for paint. For localized yellowing, try a clay bar treatment – buy a clay glove online for a few bucks, spray lubricant and rub to remove surface iron particles and stains. If the whole car is severely yellowed, only professional polishing can help, but don't cheap out with roadside shops as over-polishing ruins the paint. Final tip: never park white cars under trees – tree sap and bird droppings are practically yellowing accelerators!
