Yellow roof after removing vinyl wrap

[MrRaspberryJam]

So I took off most of my black vinyl on my roof today that has been on the car since day one pretty much. After seeing it in a different light I noticed it’s really yellow in color obviously there’s a bunch of residue still left over I haven’t cleaned off yet but I did wash and clay part of the roof and it still looks like this. Is here anything else I can do?

If it is glue residue the clay might not remove it. Try a good cleaner wax or rubbing compound which will definitely remove the adhesive. Lot of elbow grease.

DA polisher and polish.

So is it yellow from the adhesive or is the paint discolored?

Let it sit in the sun for a day

Yellow from the adhesive, it is incredibly unlikely that your paint is discolored. If you cannot get it to come off take it to a professional detailer and have them do it, they will be able to get it off.

What kind of wrap did you use? 3M 1080?

Wouldn’t that just bake it on more?

I actually am a professional detailer 😂 I’m gonna try some rubbing alcohol or maybe even some nail polish remover before trying something heavier like goof off or something. I was gonna get it as smooth as I can before Buffing and Polishing

I can’t remember it was almost 3 years ago. It was either that or Avery I think

I WOULD NOT use nail polish remover! Acetone can remove your clear coat! I would try a hard pad with a more aggressive compound and if that doesn’t work as well as you’d like I would use goo gone to remove left over residue then polish it with a more aggressive compound and a medium-firm pad then move down to a softer pad. I think something that people should keep in mind when working on a cars paint is to use the LEAST aggressive method first. You would never cut off someone’s arm because of a cut right? Same with your paint, don’t go overboard if you don’t need to. Let us know what you end up doing.

As a detailer that’s what I always do. First I cleaned and clayed the surface really well and took care of 75% of the residue. Then I used some revive hand polish with a hand applicator and that took care of the rest of the residue but now my issue is getting rid of those damn spots and that color. I did multiple go overs with my machine polisher starting with paint correcting polish with a soft foam pad and ending with a heavy correcting compound using a microfiber cutting pad and stil no results

Once that clear coat is gone so will the yellow tint be gone.

I'm surprised the wrap would do that to the paint, especially those brands.

I was actually planning on wrapping my hood with some 1080 matte black. However, if that's what it does to Summit White after a few years, I think I won't do it.
