carbon roof yellowing

Mercinman · 03-11-2020, 06:00 PM

Hey guys,

Just got an M3 this past weekend and it appears some of parts of the roof are yellowing at the edge from I'm guessing UV exposure. Is this something that can be fixed with professional detailing or will it need to be refinished?

Thank you

I just dealt with this . No it can’t be polished out . You would need to remove clear/gel coat which contains all the yellowing . Then reclear it. For me I had a rock chip on the roof so I started picking at it and peeled off the clear coat /gel coat

Where did you have the gel removal and reclear work done?
