Re: Are your center side moldings still truly white?
ps. TeamTruett, one question, is your birthdate correct?


Maybe that is his car's birthday!

My side moldings are also slightly yellowed. Worse, the one on my passenger's side has lost its paint on the top edge. The one on the driver's side is fine.

At first I thought it might be due to environmental damage but now I am thinking it was caused by someone who was too aggressive with a buffer and burned the paint right off. A corner on my spoiler has a burn through to the black underneath.

What is exposed is off white (maybe even lt. gray) in color and has a tendency to pick up dirt and yellow far more than the rest. I clean it with Meguiars Show Car Glaze and/or Swirl Remover. When clean, it becomes barely noticeable to the casual observer. You can see it in the picture where it looks worse than it actually is. The flash really makes it look bad.
