Is staining on the rocker panel common?
I am having staining happening on my 2018 F32 440xi's rocker panel. It is a white colored car and I do have xpel fully wrapped. I can wipe it off, but this is constantly happening. Here is an image of it. Check the bottom left corner of the image.
https://goo.gl/wBBByd I found an output on the door where water is draining out. Anyone else have this drain on their door as well? https://goo.gl/yUhWU3 |

Everyone does, otherwise water that enters the door by getting past the seals on the windows would stay in the door. It's likely that anti-corrosion treatment sprayed on the inside of the door isn't fully cured yet and that eventually the staining will cease.

I have never seen this before in the different cars I have ordered over the years. I had my car wrapped with xpel so it would look nice an clean all the time, and this just ruined the whole point of getting the car wrapped. Car is 6 months old.

You use xpel to keep the paint from being scratched. It might be somewhat more resistant to dirt adhesion, but not that much. That's the job of a sealant. I sealed mine within a week of getting it, that might have something to do with never seeing anything like that.
