Lysol did WHAT to my car?!

Lysol did WHAT to my car?!
So I had a little incident with leaving the windows open a tad during a vicious storm. Afterward I sprayed Lysol on the seats and fabric parts on the door to prevent any mildewing. BUT, where the Lysol hit the hard surface part of the doors, it started to turn WHITE:
WTF I tried scrubbing on it with just a wet washcloth, and also with Armor All orange wipes.. they make the whiteish color fade away but it comes back. What do I do?!? o_O

It was about a week ago now.. and seems MORE visible when it is hot. (I'd also sprayed it when it was pretty hot out)

i think lysol is mainly alcohol based, but there are some other compounds in there that make it pretty serious stuff - not your typical "air freshener". Remember, this stuff can kill ebola virus, is meant to be used as a "disinfectant" not a "make my car smell pretty" spray!

dang that really sucks...you go out there trying to "do right" but in the end it would have been better if you had done nothing at all...thats the story of my life...is it just that door panel...if anything you could check the classifieds on here or ebay, even some of these people that post their wrecked xB's could possibly sell you a door panel. it would be better than sanding it and all that. just a suggestion. something i would do.

If you've already tried wiping it down with clear water (a LOT), try some Armor-All on it before sanding it (!). Remember that surface is very textured, so everything from wiping it down to Armor-All-ing will take a bit of work to get into all those tiny little waffle-holes.
No guarantees, but might be worth a try.
