My 2009 Alpine White BMW F-02 740LI is starting to show some yellowing and aging over the past years. My car has been meticulously washed weekly and protected with multiple coats of Zaino Z2 over the years. When parked next to a brand new Alpine BMW F10 M5 at the dealership. My car appears aged and creamy. Contrast is astonishing when parked next to another brand new Alpine White car!!!:angry



I plan to correct my yellowing white paint this weekend. I have the following products in my arsenal. Please advise on what to do to bring my white paint back to like new condition:hail:



Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher 7424XP with



Orange light cutting foam pad

and the following:



1. Zaino Z18 Clay bar

2. Zaino PC Fusion Paint Cleaner Swirl Remover

3. Meguiar 105 Ultra cut compound

4. Zaino Z2 Polish

5. Zaino AIO



Many thanks in advance. It`s time to seek advise from the Autopia gurus in times like this:bawling:

I would go with ZAIO on a white polishing pad. That should clean the paint and bring back the colour of your car.

The problem with light colored cars is that you can really see the embedded dirt.

Hence the ValuGuard decontamination suggestion
