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.

Never actually tried it (on scuff marks) but if we were all standing there, I'd bet $20 on WD 40

Go slowly and carefully or you could mar the surfaces.
