Interior dried up drip marks in back seats

Have somebody sit inside the car while you hose the car down pretty vigorously. If they spot any drips, then you might have a problem. If not, and you see those drops hit the interior when you open the door, then that's probably normal and unavoidable. If your spotter inside the car takes note of exactly where drops originate, it'll help pinpoint your problem.

I wouldn't blast the window/ door sills with a hard jet of water, because that's a lot more pressure and unnatural direction than Mother Nature would create... even a Trident class submarine would leak under that test. But a serious shower, all over, would replicate one of those hardcore AZ desert rainstorms (add a strobe light and have some beat a metal dumpster with an aluminum bat for the lightning and thunder!).

Alright thank you so much! Will do, hopefully it's not leaking striping

Did you get your windows tinted recently? Could be from the spray they used and you just didn't notice it until now.

I think this is a good post for the "Do Girls Like Your Camaro" thread...

The windows were tinted when I got the car but they said it was recently when I bought it

Easy easy solution man it's just the soap/water solution they use when tinting the windows. It may take an hour to get it all out all the way around but it's not hard. You can use just water and keep spraying and rubbing it down with a cloth or you can try Meguillars detailer spray. That's how I got mine out, After you get it out (i'm sure you can just use water in a spray bottle) try and hit it with some armor all interior wipes to give it a shine. Seriously though, it's just from getting tinted.

You had this same issue?

Mine had the same water spots on the backseat, it was from the window tinting. Comes right off with a little warm water.

Yup same exact issue on the read palstic panels and the door panels, easily removed just use a spray bottle and put some water in it, it's just dried up soap/water left over from the tinting being done. It's easy to get rid of, make sure your panels aren't hot when starting, spray it with water rub it down and keep repeating till it's done, fairly easy process, when you're done make sure you hit it with some armor all interior wipes to give it a nice shine and it really hides anything left over.

Spray bottle with water (don't be shy with the water it's just plastic)
I had luck with Meguillars detailer spray (red big bottle)
Cloth to rub the water off.
Armor all Interior wipes when finished.

Uploading some pics, I saw some spots that I missed and I haven't got rid of it for about a month, I just did so so let me show you.

This is what I used..


Sprayed it with water and rubbed it down a total of 5 times.


This is after the water


After Armor-all interior plastic wipes
It really makes a huge difference but the picture doens't show it. You can't just armor all a whole spot, you have to do the whole car if you're going to do it lol..

You're welcome! Keep me posted on how everything goes.
