I've got about a softball size spot of discoloration on my right front fender. At certain angle, the white looks sort of like an off-white/yellow. It looks like something my have spilled there at some point or something. Anything I can do to try to blend the color?

Thanks

Have you tried any product to try and remove the blemish first? Tar remover, strong soap, etc? (Just don't rub too hard.)

Once you've tried all the non-abrasive chemical methods and they don't work you might have to remove the discolured paint with a polish of some kind. What products like these do you have on hand?

It actually looks like it's blended with the clearcoat or something, and not a separate substance on top. I've got clay bay, meguiar's paint cleaner and body scrub, and probably the usual cleaning supplies.

Thanks again.

Dunno what could get ito the clearcoat like that. I would wash it then try some non-abrasive cleaner...and if not hit up some abrasive polish.

Try the chemical solutions first, and then the paint cleaner, and then Body Scrub if the paint cleaner doesn't work. Don't sit there rubbing it like crazy for too long though. Good luck.
