Magic Eraser, Goof Off for the really bad marks and Aerospace 303.

Cashmere interior.

Choose wisely - some of the Soft Scrub contains bleach.

I used the Soft Scrub and it worked great. I applied some 303 protectant afterwards. It looks as good as new except where my father-in-law had tried laquer thinner to remove the marks!

Buy the Mr. Clean brand eraser, not the generic brand. The generic brand does not work nearly as good. It may not remove every single mark completely, but it will be real close. As had been said previously, wet, wring out excess water, scrub, wipe with clean towel, scrub, wipe, etc.

Just tried the armorall cleaner - useless.

I tried the Soft Scrub - I thought that was going to do it for sure. Nope. Maybe I'm not using enough - or enough elbow grease. This is going to be an ongoing challenge. I can't wait to get them clean and get the sill protectors. I may end up just putting the black sill protectors over them and be done.

[QUOTE=Stogie Lover;1579034764]Anybody have an idea on how to remove shoe scuff marks from the door sill (tan interior)?[/QUOTE
Tried magic eraser, didn't work. I use 000 steel wool and a dab of car wash soap. Clean rag and water to wipe off . 303 to finish and like new.

Do not use Goof Off It removes the color. Yes I know from experience.

I had mine painted and clear coated in my 2001 corvette. After that and a couple applications of ziano, they were bullet proof. Looked really nice as well.

I've had good results using leather/vinyl cleaner from the auto parts store (I don't recall the specific brand but it's probably one of the common car care product brands....nothing exotic).
