    I have a white car and I have a few spots that won`t go away after washing. I haven`t tried a clay bar yet...will it get rid of these stains?



    The third pic didn`t show up that well, its a yellowish mark under my corner lights. I also have the same marks under my side trim.

    Can you feel them or are they essentially even with the paint surface of the car?



    I had some similar marks on my white car this weekend and I took a cloth and some Prepsol and wiped it down. The marks came right off. Of course, so did the wax, so you`ll have to re-wax those areas if you do this.



    I would try a solvent before I resorted to clay or abrasives. Possibly some Klasse AIO would work too.

    Try claying first to see if they will come off. If not, you will have to use something like DACP.

    *I* would try the clay, it`s usually my first-attempt product. If that doesn`t get it, then I`d move on to paint cleaners (lie PPCL) and more and more aggressive polishes.
