Default interiour scuffs

Hi, anyone had the same experiance drivers seat lefthand side bolster
gets badley scuffed and the drivers door sill gets scuffed on the leading edge in parking spots whare there isn,t a lot of room to exit and even though there,s a scuff plate there i think they should extend the plate right to the edge i would pay extra for those both what do you think.

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works very well for getting scuff marks off of the doors and door sills.

Have not tried it on the bolsters, though. I use Aerospace 303 and a micro fiber towel for the seats.

there is also plenty of clear guards sold that cover those areas to stop the scuffing. i just try watch my feet and clean off the scuffs if any from time to time.

thanks you guys but its not the cleaning of the leather? once the leather gets scuffed it showes white plus the sill you try not to scrape
it but just sometimes its unavoidable with an extended sill cover you would,nt have to care car 07 1lt black/black 107k used every day rain
snow etc etc love the car, the build quality well thats another story.

Just a normal problem with the cheap a$$ leather they put in these cars. Price you pay to get F-car performance for a much cheaper price.

Ya, ive noticed the bolsters get in BAD SHAPE...especially the left bolster on the drivers seat!! I can see a couple really small holes in driver side bolster. My interior is titanium w/ black leather, so you can tell too bad.
