I have found out that the cause of the staining is due to the mastic used to the windows and grilles weeping and causing the deterioration of the vinyl wrapping.

Be very careful you do not stain the white around the decal. Make sure you only polish/clean the actual decal. I tried just using a normal car wax over the whole area, it lifted the oxidised upper blue layer of the decal and transferred it to the white wall. Took a lot of Tcut to get the stain off. My 2001 Pilote van has a polyester outer skin, so that may be the reason it stained so easily.

many many years! since I was a kid
some stains can be polished out with a light cutting compound but be aware if the damage is deep into the colour it is beyond saving
