    Is there a seal that I’m supposed to replace? Or is there just a lot of dirt in the handles? Driver door stain doesn’t come off completely and the other doors do clean up but takes a while. (The black trails of whatever that is, coming from the handles)

    Mine does the same (also white), tough I never struggle to get it to come off. I figure its just dirt that collects around the handle.

    My 2021 does it too. It has since it was new.
    Neighbor down the streets as well, and a chick up the street also.

    I'd wash it but I'll wait for the rain to pass first - it wipes off easy for me.

    It's just dirt that get behind handle, does the same with mirrors. Gets trapped there and when rains washes out. Every vehicle I have ever owned did it, 25+.
