Coupled with the fact that Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits during an examination conducted by the FAA, I think it's pretty clear that whatever they're doing is in fact wrong and dangerous. But hey if you want to get into a flying coffin, I ain't gonna stop you.

A note for the liquid soap incident said the door seal fitting instructions were "vague and unclear on what specifications or actions are to be followed or recorded by the mechanic,'" per The Times.

This is the problem, not the use of the soap.
