Default stains on inside of doors

When the inside of my door gets wet from rain or soemthing when it dries it leaves a stainmark. I can usually get it out but would like to know if somewhere has found someway to wipe the stains out easier!

To remove the stains, you'll need some mildly soapy warm water and a "nappy" cotton cloth or a microfiber towel. You need something with a little texture or nap to get into the grooves of the door surface. Wash it then wipe it down with plain water to remove any soap residue.

Once it dries, you should put on a dressing like 303 Aerospace Protectant. Whatever you use, don't spray it directly onto the door or other interior pieces. That will leave a blotchy appearance. Spray the dressing onto a cloth and let it soak in for a few seconds then quickly wipe it across the door/dash/etc. If you touch the doors or interior with anything damp or wet, it will leave spots or blotches.

+1. The clear water rinse is very important.

Vinegar to remove hard water spots on glass or paint. Not really sure that he has hard water spots on the interior. More than likely, it's the old splotchiness issue.

I find that the glass cleaners in the aerosol cans that also clean multi purposes work well on the door with a microfiber towel. I have not splotchyness.
