I posted on Phil's detailing site about it; I just tried it on my rear rockers but wasn't able to take out several spots. I am going to try Plexus next I think...

Those stone guards still look yellow. I guess they are easy to replace.

This is very common on our white Porsches. That GT3 is Carrara White, just like my Boxster. The name is derived from a mountain range in Italy, where some of the whitest marble in the World is harvested. So, unfortunately, even the slighest yellowing shows up pretty noticeably on this color.
