Hi folks!

Is anyone getting white smudging on the inside of the doors by the door latch?

Every time my arm or hand rubs against the inside of the door it leaves a white smudge behind on the black interior material. It’s driving me nuts!

Probably white lithium grease getting worked out of the latch mechanism.

I noticed this yesterday while my Wife was driving. White smudges on the passenger door!

It's your skin. Same issue. Very noticeable. Wet cloth.

I have seen this on at least 2 different cars I test drove. I thought it was strange but thought it was sunscreen. Waiting for new car to be delivered so hoping this was just some lotion and not an ongoing issue-

sadly for me, it’s an ongoing issue. Skin just rubs off on it and leaves the smudge. I keep a microfiber in the driver door now.

100%. I was thinking of cutting some black vinyl and applying it here. Something a little glossy that won't act as an emery cloth on my hand.
