hey, i was wondering if anyone had a similiar problem as me, and what they did to get rid of it... my car is GPW and towards the bottom of our paint jobs along the driver/passenger side there is a textured paint area that feels almost rubberish. towards my front wheels that area is starting to turn yellowish, only on that bottom area im assuming from dirt/dirty water. anyone have a tip or idea on what i can do, or what kind of product i can use to remove this, that is safe for my paint?

 

Never heard of this one before. I am interested in other people's answers.

 

if you guys really need it i can take a pic.. and its weird cuz i hardly drive the car.. less than 18k and i dont like driving in the rain!

 

hmm i am interested as well

 

here is a picture anyways... you cant hardly tell cuz of the lighting, but if you look hard you can, and its mainly for reference to the area.

 

I think most if not all white cars will turn yellow over time...

How often do you wash and wax the car?

 

wash often, wax maybe every 6 months. but its ONLY in that area. is there any way to bleach this area?

 

since it's the textured rocker panel area, have you tried using a claybar on it yet to see if it can strip whatever it is?

 

no i dont believe i have, but that doesnt seem like it would work.. its more like a yellow tint, not really dirt, etc.

 

i would try claybar, then a paint cleaner product. i like to use jeff werkstatt prime or klasse all in one. follow up with a sealant (jeff werkstatt acryllic jett trigger or klasse sealant glaze).

if these don't work, i would try polishing with a porter cable and menzerna products.

generally, carnauba based waxes last about a month. synthetic waxes will last you about 2-4 months depending on the weather your car sees.

hope this helps.
