Default Heel marks

Does anyone know of a good product for removing black shoe heel marks from the sill and kick panels. I've tried about everything, with no luck.

Magic eraser works, but keep in mind it is abrasive.

I've tried GooGone and Simple Green. Neither worked. I'll give Magic Eraser a try. Thanks for the tips!

Go slowly and carefully or you could mar the surfaces.
