How to Restore Yellowed White Car Paint to Its Original Whiteness?
2 Answers
Yellowed white car paint can be restored to its original whiteness through polishing. Here are some relevant details about car polishing: 1. Overview: Car polishing is a beauty treatment process where the vehicle is polished before waxing, glazing, or coating. This is because glazing and coating require prior polishing, and only a finely polished car can achieve a mirror-like finish. This step is essential for glazing. 2. Advantages: Polishing does not harm the car paint; instead, it better protects the paint. It removes oxidized paint and various contaminants from the car body, eliminates fine scratches on the paint surface, and treats minor paint damage and stains.
After my old white car's paint turned yellow, I figured out this method: first use a clay bar to remove stubborn stains on the surface, then apply professional cleaning wax as a base. The most crucial step is polishing—using medium-fine abrasive compound with a polisher in a zigzag pattern to remove the oxidized layer. I remember it took over three hours to complete the entire process on my car. Finally, it's essential to apply a ceramic coating for protection, like putting a protective suit on the paint. Now I always try to park in the shade and apply liquid wax myself every month to slow down yellowing. If the paint has already cracked or peeled, it's better to just repaint it properly.
