Dirty water dripping between doors

Has anyone else seen this? I'm going to take it to the car wash and spray soap all up in there and see if it goes away.

Yes. It’s present on all cars. Very noticeable on white cars. Only way to get rid of it is to properly dry the metal part on the inside of the doors. It’s normal.

This is where door jamb cleaning comes in handy. Use a quick detailer or waterless and wipe down with some all purpose mf towels. You'll get the drip no matter, but better it being clean water than dirty. Best of luck.

What you see on these pictures is just protective wax from the inside of the doors. It's draining out through the holes located at the bottom of the doors. It will stop after a few months.

In nearly every instance of leaking car door seals, which you may notice in the form of rain making its way inside or an annoying whoosh of air through the car door leak, worn weather stripping around the door is the culprit. ... Rinse the weather stripping thoroughly with just water and a non-sudsy cloth or sponge..

Good luck
