I've had the black Grand Sport for a month now and only 260 miles.
I've had only 4 people in the passenger side in the last week...basically to show the car off. And tonight, since the last car wash a week ago, I notice while washing the car, a big paint scuff on the passenger side skirt. I'm sure some one stepped on it while getting in or out of the car.
What's the best remedy for dealing with paint scuffs on your Vette?
Oh yeah. Forget to mention NOT to have passengers in Your Corvette. One person cars passengers whine, complain, cry, and bitch. Drove with my wife for only the second time. Ahh, terrible. I seriously babied it and drive as absolutely mildly as I could and still got the “you’re being too aggressive”/thing. Back to the SUV for that. My toy.
After 28 years and 700,000 miles in Corvettes in all sorts of weather and all sorts of road conditions in 45 of the lower 48 states posts like this are, to me, a riot....
Loaned the C7 to my best friend, who has PTSD from repeated combat tours and requires a service dog, for two weeks and, yes, the dog rides in the front seat - large dog too.
They're just cars.... feel the same way about my Ferrari - it's just a car too....
I always remind passengers to be careful not to step on the side skirt when entering and exiting, which understandably can happen if they’re unaware... and even then, they’ll occasionally catch a heel or toe on it as it can be awkward.
I find that the below works well on removing scuffs:

I thought I was the only one. She's 5'2" so: I'm too short, it's too loud, I can't see where I'm going, I can't get in and out of it, I can't stand the radar detector beeping or the radio is too loud this cars really NOISEY...REMEDY: STAY HOME

I'm exhausted just reading all those complaints!
Good remedy.
And, whatever else, simply teach/tell people how to get in correctly and remind them when they exit. Not a big issue. I've a Series1 Excalibur roadster with functional side-exhausts and I ALWAYS let people know they are HOT! Same with your skirts, imho. Best of luck!

Okay, perhaps minor, but irritating issue
