Mr Clean Magic Eraser

I've used the Mr. Clean magic eraser with good luck just be careful of any run off as I believe it may stain the carpet.

I have the same problem as my sill panels are oak, I've tried the magic eraser, but it does not get all of the marks out, also leaves a white residue when it dries!

When I used the Magic Eraser, it took away about 90% of the marks, but also dulled the surface of the sill.

I ended up buying a new door sill for about $60.

If you want to do that, do a Google search for "C5 Corvette door sill panel".

It's the high heel marks on my headliner I have the most trouble removing.

I agree. The Mr. Clean product does work very well.

Have you tried WD40? But, before you do, you need to test it in a hidden area to ensure that it doesn't attack the plastic. It shouldn't since it's water-based. But you never know.
