white paint yellowing

[TOPEC]

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]

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.

only 4 years old, should be fairly new

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

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

[604_Snooze]

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.
