white deposit on door panels

[motorman]

i have cleaned my 2008 door panels 3-4 times with murphys oil soap as GM said to do but the white stuff keeps coming back. i have the red/black combo so what else will work that does not make them look greasy and shiny ?? i also want to do the dash so i want to keep the finish dull.. off to corvette carlisle in the morning and anyone who wants a cold beer stop at G110 and ask for clem. :D

Replacement under the new car warranty, since the repeated cleaning does not work?

GM has sent out a bulletin not to replace the panels

I believe the "white stuff" is salt off your skin. I have no problem cleaning it everytime I wash my z06.

no it is all over the door panels and even in the area between the door and dash and GM said it came from the molds used to make the panels.

It sounds like you need to make more noise with the dealer or GM. If they can't be cleaned, GM should replace them.

I don't know if all cars have equal susceptability to this problem. Mine is a 2006 with the cashmire interior which has black on the dash and upper doors. What worked for me may not work on other cars. Anyway, I noted a little bit of this white material a couple years ago. After cleaning with Murphy oil soap I took a clean cotton rag (piece of old T shirt) and sprayed a very small amount of Son of a Gun (similar product to Amoral) and wiped the dash and upper door panels; I used a very small amount of the spray and I had to do quite a bit of rubbing to get even coverage and to be sure it was down in the grain. I immediately followed it with a completely dry and clean piece of the same material and rubbed extensively to remove as much of the residual Son Of A Gun and I could. The end result was a nice dull black appearance. I have since repeated this application once a year and I have had a nice looking dash & door panel and no more white stuff. My guess is that the Son of a Gun may be sealing the porosity from which the white stuff is emitted.

i talked to the corvette engineers at carlisle and they say it is out gassing and it will stop sometime. they told me when i park my car in the garage with the windows down a couple of inches. they siad the worst thing to used is something like armorall
