How to get rid of sun spots? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Is it a whitish milky stain? If yes I may be able to help you.

Keep in mind that washing the car with the bra on or even just the rain may cause some moisture to get trapped under the clear coat; something similar happened to me with few magnets that I use on my doors. It will go away but you need to do the following procedure:

-Take some rubbing alcohol and wipe off the affected area with a cotton towel, this will remove any wax that is on the surface and this will help the moisture to be released.

-Get a spray bottle and mist the affected area leave the sprayed water on, repeat every 30 min or so, the idea is to keep the surface wet. Continue spraying water for 3 or more days and continue this process until you see the stain is gone I recommend doing this during nighttime so the sprayed water will not evaporate too fast, carry with you the spray bottle so any time you have chance you can spray it, make sure your car is on the shade if you do it during the day. Once it’s gone apply some wax to seal that area, and always make sure that there is no moisture trapped between the Bra and the paint.

I was desperate of looking at my car doors like that, I tried paint cleaner, wax cleaner and didn’t work until I tried spraying water.

I don't really know what’s the explanation but it works maybe there are tiny pores in the clear coat and that surface must stay wet in order to release the trapped moisture underneath.

I Hope this helps!
