"moisture stains" on door panels

did anyone experience this?

I will take some photos soon and post them for reference but figured I ask first.

What seems to happen is that when its humid or wet weather and the interior develops some temporary moisture from the muggy weather the door panels seem to get physically "wet" and than develop these kind of stains that end up drying like dripping water stains on a wall.

Is there some specific cleaner do you use on the door panels to prevent something like this as I can't imagine what material the panel is made of to cause this "breathing" problem.

Seats and dash look fine ...

Thanks for any tips!

Try a 50/50 Solution of Simple Green and Water. Spray on, let sit, then wipe off. Follow up with a good Interior Protectant (NOT Armour All) 303 or Nero is what I use on all of my interior.

Check out www.detailersparadise.com they sell both products.

Good Luck!!
