white paint yellowing
 
my car is a white 2006 subaru, and the paint is really yellowing when compared to other white subarus of the same or earlier year.
would a good detailing get rid of the yellowing?
i believe it's the clear coat that is yellowing and not the paint?

do you wax your car?

TOPEC 06-06-2010 08:43 PM

yes but havnt done it in a long time.

I havent seen any cars your age with clear coat yellowing. If polishing it won't solve the problem, it may be a warranty issue.

i'll try and take a clear pic showing what im talking about tomorrow.

That is really strange. Sounds like a warranty issue for sure :)

Was the car ever resprayed? You the origional owner still?

try use Duragloss 501 to see if it helps.
my white yaris is the same case as yours and DG501 helps bring out the white.

not sure how well u can see the difference, but it's pretty obvious when u see it in person.

the trunk and wing is from a 2004 which u can see has a "cool" white shade, while the body from 2006, has a "yellowish" white to it.
