Help! White stains on driver door panel that keep coming back

[Bronchette]

Have you thought about putting on a nice looking center arm rest cover?

Ohhhhhh!!! I REALLY LIKE THAT!!! Where'd you git it?? Please don't say "The Gittin' Place". LOL!

I bought it on Amazon but my link didn’t work otherwise I’d post the link for you. Search for Bronco sport armrest cover or console cover.

Yeah, I couldn't find it. There's a whole lot of other options, but they're not as purdy.

+1 on the center console cover. Mine is neoprene, but it's great. For the white door marks, I keep a can of Armor All wipes in mine. Takes the marks away well and easy to just wipe and drive.

My wife got sunscreen all over both my front doors.

I researched professional detailer forums and kept coming across P&S Detail Products interior cleaner.

I thought it was silly buying a detail brush but it was able to get down into the texture of the door.

This stuff took it out first try.
I didn't get an "after" photo of the driver's door but the passenger was nearly just as bad.

Wow, the after photo looks great. Has it been a while since using the P & S cleaner on the doors? Has the stains eventually come back? I am hoping to find a product that will permanently remove the stains so that I can occasionally wipe the doors clean with a damp microfiber cloth.

After recently talking to my Dealer about the door stains the Dealer tried a product they use called Car Brite cleaner. It also looked great after the detail shop cleaned the doors. But It was the same product they would have used to detail the car when they delivered it and the stains returned after delivery but I do not recall how long it took. After the detail shop cleaned the stains again the doors looked great again for about two weeks. I then tested the doors by wiping them clean with a damp cloth using only water. The stains have started to come back again so it looks like what the dealer used didn't permanently remove the stains just covered them up for a longer period of time.

They have not returned. Been since Sept.

That is good to hear. Did you use the P&S XPRESS Interior Cleaner and it looks like you scrubbed it in with the detail brush?

 

[Steven 6095]

Yep. The brush was able to get down into the texture of the door. The chemical is a straight cleaner. Nothing more.

@DWG I see the P&S Detail Products interior cleaner on Amazon and other sites. I may try that someday if I get something that won’t come off - Btw the wipes I posted in Post #2 also easily clean off sunscreen (including sunscreen with Zinc), as well as all the other types of hand lotions etc. and the wipes seem to have no harsh chemicals or alcohol but don’t know if wipes would work on the job you posted earlier.

What is the source for that arm rest cover?

I use the Armor All interior wipes as well and they do the trick for me with all the little marks and light scratches. Especially with the rubber floors.

Worst case, you can always do touch-ups with SEM vinyl Paint (actually a dye.) I repainted all the vinyl pieces in my plane and it cam out like new. This works best in low wear areas.
