armorall turnings door panels red??

I've been using the armorall wipes, the one in the purple container, and while it works great except for lint, I did notice that on my door panels, the plastic piece with the little opening for storage space, has turned a slight tint of red. Could this be the armorall's fault? Can it be the result of a combination of wipes and letting it dry too fast in the sun?

They were probably there from day one, I bought a 2k2 back in march and noticed my door panels (passenger and driver) had a distinctive red line in the same spot on each side, from there they had blotchey reddish patches you could only really see in the sun.

I took it back to the dealer, they ordered me two new door panels and replaced them under warrenty as a manufactures defect. I never used armor all, or any other detail product.

They usually order the pieces and then call you when they come in.

They ordered mine it took about 3 weeks because the driver side was on back order, they called me when they came in, it took about an hour for them to do the work.
