TW fading?

Bal3ieb0i · 02-03-2010, 04:43 PM

People with TW have ne problems with fading color or darken by sun? I guess the 06, 07 years may hv more of a saying that the newer years. noticed on white TL to have darkened.

Nope, my 08 TW looks the day it was bought minus the dings and scratches.

I've seen white accords and odysseys with the clear coat missing and the paint is stained from that, but as long as you take care of the paint, i.e. wax and wash, the paint shouldn't permanently stain. if you think you have some use a good cleaner wax and see if it comes out....

On my sisters 07 the paint on the bumpers changed colors from the rest of the car. They have a brown/gold tinge to them now.

Dirt and grime embedded in the clear coat. Shows up on white.

Bumpers are really susceptible to it because of the flex additives makes the paint/clear coat softer.

A good detailing should be able to fix it.

Well it's not really "fading" since fading means it's getting lighter.

it's actually just dirty.

This is why people say their paint is so smooth after clay baring. It's lifting out all the embedded crap.
