Restoring yellowed white paint

[ArcticC5]

It seems the Arctic White paint on my 1998 Corvette has yellowed.  This is noticeable when parked to a new Corvette with Arctic White paint, which seems brighter with a hint of blue.

 

Any tips on how to restore the 1998 Corvette back to gleaming white?

The paint needs a good polishing to restore it back to the original color.

My Arctic White is a 2013.It does have a "bluish" tint to it.  Wash it, clay,and polish the paint.  Then go the way you like best, whether it's wax or ceramic. Just keep in mind that it's almost 25 year old paint on fiberglass, so it's not going to come all the way back.  We do the best we can with these cars.   Welcome to the forum!

It is my experience that when white paint yellows that means it's dirty.  A claying and an AIO is usually all that's required to clean things up and restore the color.

Pardon the dumb question, but what's an AIO?

 

>> Never mind, figured out it means "All in One" polish.  Thanks for the advice, though
