Paint stains easily?
Not sure if it's the frs paint being soft, but I feel that it stains very easily. Granted, I have the whiteout. Also, I have 5 yellow stains on my hood that I cannot remove as it has seeped into the clearcoat. I think the previous owner did not remove these stains for a while. Anyone else with this problem? I never had these issues with my previous cars

claybar only removes stuff above the clearcoat... i compounded and polished the whole car a few weeks ago, and these spots are the only ones I could not get rid of... thinking of soaking WD40 onto a rag and letting that sit and see if that helps the next time I wash the car... it pains me that every spot of pollen/tree sap/ tar smears around the paint so easily...

However, if my car did have a stain and I had already tried soap and water to get it out .......... my next strategy would be to try some alcohol. If that didn't do the trick, I'd follow up with a little Clorox bleach. If that didn't work, I'd be tempted to take it into a detail shop ...... humfrz |

Really? More so than any other modern car sprayed with waterborne paint?
The industry had to make a major change due to VOC emissions and it will take time to catch up. The paint is more brittle, not "soft" |

i heard abt the VOC emissions, but if all manufacturers are affected, why is it that only the frs' paint is so 'brittle' and stains easily? i have a 2016 honda odyssey as well and the paint is on-par with all the cars i've had prior

EDIT: Only the front bumper is poor on my FRS. This paint doesn't like plastic...The rest of the car shines. |
