Yellow stains on the car are not uncommon. You should know where they come from and how to get rid of them.
Yellow stains on the car: where they come from
You have probably also noticed yellow stains on your vehicle, which are not always easy to remove.
- These stains are often caused by animals, namely bees and wasps.
- More precisely, it is their excrement.
- The yellow spots are usually the part of the pollen that they were unable to digest.
- But it doesn’t always have to be droppings. It is also possible that the stains are stubborn tree resin. This is often the case if your vehicle has been parked under trees.
- If you are often parked under trees and bushes, it may be pollen, depending on the time of year.
- If it is a rather brownish yellow, it may also be flash rust.
How to remove the stains
Be careful when removing the stains so as not to damage the paintwork.
- If it is resin, use a clean soft cloth and a resin remover that is especially suitable for cars.
- Feces stains can be removed with an insect remover and a soft cloth.
- Flash rust can be more stubborn and is not always easy to remove. But there are special rust removers for this too.
- If you are unsure, it makes sense to seek advice. For example, from employees at the car wash or from a vehicle painter.
