Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser from the auto detailing aisle at Wal-mart, or in many grocery stores in the detergent aisle, Kroger in particular.

It's multiple sponges about the size of an eraser. Wet one, wring out the excess water and wipe lightly once or twice across the mark. It is slightly abrasive. Rinse, let dry, and use over and over again.

Been using them on my Vettes for 5 or 6 years.

I don't recall the specific brand but it's labeled "Leather/Vinyl Cleaner." I buy it at the local auto parts store. It works great!

For scuff marks, try either of these:

Lighter Fluid: It will cut grease, scuff marks etc and will not damage the plastic or other finishes, including leather. It's a great product for removing any type of adhesive. Its my "go to" remover of adhesive and marks.

Krud Kutter: This product is like "409" Cleaner on drugs! It will clean about anything, grease, dirt, grime. Great engine cleaner. Great product for around the home. It will not leave an odor. Spray it on, count to 3 and wipe with a white damp rag. You can buy the this product at Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, etc in the household cleaner section.

Good luck!

On our 2009 Cashmere, we can get all the marks off the inside of the door with 3M Adhesive Remover sprayed into a white rag and rubbed on the marks. Nothing else needed.

On the Cashmere door sill, the Adhesive Remover will only take off about 1/3 of the marks. Also tried WD40 and several other solvents and they weren't any better. The Magic Eraser works well but is slightly abrasive, you will end up turning the matte finish plastic into gloss finish if you get too energetic.

Toothpaste was an old GI fix for getting black shoe marks off of tile floors!
