Start slow. Try some WD40 or liquid cleaner as stated above. Just remember that its clearcoated paint, and the underlying CSM (always screw that acronym up....is it Composit Sheet Material we're made of?) is grey, so dont use anything too abrasive of you may remove them and be left with grey showing through.
I dont think the Mr Clean sponge has any abrasive component to it.

Hmmm . . .? to be honest with you I never watched them being painted at the factory tour, so you may be right, they could do the clear last and only on the outside. I just assumed all the parts got the same treatment prior to assembly.
Anyway, the thought still holds water, its still paint over the composite material. If the "scuffs" are black they should come off pretty easily, if they are white they may be deeper into the paint and rubbing them with any abrasive may show more of whats under them. Just a thought.

Ah, ok got it 
I dont get any marks on that (foot doesnt seem to hit there) but I do get them on the painted part.
The interior trim stuff is all uniform color straight through so the abrasive thing I was on before wouldnt matter (if it was gouged), but I would still try a liquid approach or that magic eraser thing.
