Yellowish Spots on Summit White Paint
I have a 2012 Summit White ZL1
I clean the car every time after I drive it so I know every square inch of the car. I've been noticing yellowish spots on the sides of the car that appear to be coming up under the clear coat that cannot be buffed out. Has anyone else been seeing this. I will be taking it to my dealer next week to see what is going on with the paint. This is a bit concerning I don't have a clue where this coming from and it's getting worse by the week. Anyone else with this issue? |

Maybe from the tire shine/dressing?

If so i would think it would buff out wouldn't it?
That would me the paint is a little bit delicate which is unacceptable to me and I'm sure everyone else. It looks like its under the clear coat which I know seems a bit more than weird but I'm not a paint guy either. |

I know I've seen some forms where people had some stains from the tire dressings and the spots have faded over time. Guess some tire dressings have strong chemicals that penetrate clear coat.

You could be right with the tire dressing the first two spots that appeared were not on the car when I picked it up and the dealer did dress the tires.
My car was built on may 31st as far as the paint curing these spots just showed up last week when I dressed the tires for the first time in a month. All I know is the spots will not come off the paint with anything that I am currently trying. I sure hope that I can find something to remove the spots. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... |

Unless it's really bad don't let your dealer talk you into repainting it.

Well I've tried just about everything four different high end waxes and nope nothing worked. I will have to get it checked over by a good detailing shop I'm sure they have run in to it before. It's amazing how sensitive the paint is and I guess if its the tire detail compound well they shouldn't be selling it as far as I'm concerned.

I have something similar happen to my back quarter panels! I'll post some pics and tell me of it kinda looks the same. Mine are a golden oil color almost black! Have you tired bug and tar remover?? That kinda "lightened" mine up! I was also told to use a clay bar to see if that helped! I haven't been able to do that yet, as I'm not too comfortable with using clay bars! Mine I believe was from the tire dressing the dealership used! I also drove mine the 1,500+ miles home too!!

Let me know what you guys think of this!! You can faintly feel the spots, which leads me to believe that I should be able to get it with a clay bar. Any thoughts?? Also, does this look like the problem you're having?
