What to Do When the Paint Turns Yellow?

[VanAaron]

Keep the vehicle clean to prevent excessive dirt accumulation. Consider purchasing a sunshade car cover to protect the car from prolonged exposure to sunlight and other damages when not in use for extended periods. Regular waxing can effectively prevent the oxidation of the car paint. Essentially, the process involves polishing to remove the oxidized and yellowed parts of the paint that cannot be washed away.

The yellowing of my car paint was due to prolonged exposure to the sun, which caused oxidation. After trying a cleaner with no effect, I bought a bottle of car polishing compound and manually scrubbed to gently remove the surface yellow layer, achieving decent results. For severe cases, you can visit a repair shop for deep polishing or repainting. It's important to develop a habit of regular waxing—applying a protective coat after each wash can prevent UV damage. White cars are particularly prone to yellowing, which is also related to urban pollution, such as acid rain or dust accumulation accelerating the oxidation process. When parking, try to choose shaded areas or cover the car with a car cover.
