What Causes the Yellow Stains on Car Paint That Can't Be Washed Off?
1 Answers
Yellow stains on car paint that cannot be washed off are caused by stubborn dust and impurities, aging paint surfaces, and rainwater carrying iron particles. Reasons why yellow stains cannot be washed off: Dust and impurities: When a car is driven in areas with heavy dust, dust and impurities can accumulate on white-colored paint surfaces. Some impurities, such as asphalt and bird droppings, are particularly stubborn and cannot be removed with regular washing. These sticky impurities require specialized cleaning agents for soaking, stain removal, and rinsing to be completely eliminated. Aging paint surface: If the car paint is exposed to prolonged sunlight and rain without timely maintenance, it can easily age and develop spots. Some cars parked for extended periods or exposed to acid rain may even suffer severe corrosion. In such cases, the paint surface needs restorative treatment, which involves using polishing wax to grind and polish the affected areas. Rainwater carrying iron particles: When a car is parked outdoors, rainwater carrying iron particles can land on the body. If not washed promptly, rust spots may form on the paint surface. These rust spots can be cleaned using an iron particle remover. Spray the remover evenly on the yellow spots, then wipe with a car wash sponge or towel. If the stains persist, use a clay bar for further polishing. Another cause is asphalt splashing onto the paint while driving. Asphalt, primarily composed of hydrocarbons, is hydrophobic and insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide. It is corrosive, and if not cleaned promptly, it may naturally fall off over time, leaving behind yellow stains.
