Help. Got a yellow stain
 
Have no idea what it is. It won't come off.

Any ideas to get rid of it?


Thanks.

I'd suggest you start by trying to remove it with a claybar.

If that doesn't work, try some mild polishing compound.

Alcohol would be one of the last resorts.

If he had zipped before he jiggled, the stain wouldn't be yellow; it'd be red.

I also have a white FRS and you usually get those from bird droppings and insects. just use a claybar to get rid of it. also any brand of bug off works. if not just give it a quick lick and some elbow grease.

Baking Soda and a damp sponge can sometimes work miracles.

In order of what I would try:

A bit of dawn on wet microfiber.
Clay with plenty of lubrication.
Carpro Trix. (Eliminates possibly tar or iron deposit)
Compound like Meguiars M105 with a foam pad.

Make sure to apply whatever wax or sealant you like when done.

Well, it works on teeth, but I'm not sure I would try it on a car (maybe too abrasive ..??).

Agreed I would not use baking soda too abrasive.

Well, Ultramaroon, you might have something there. Stick a few on a microfiber towel and rub on the area till the yellow is gone......:w00t:

@NLS8520 ...... what's your take on that method .... ??

Try rubbing it with alcohol yet? I'm not joking. 😂

Alcohol pretty much get rid of all the stuff I ever got on my car.
