Default Interior cleaning?

What's the best (most practical) way to clean the door panels? I've got a number of smudges from shoes while entering the vehicle. I hate to take it to a car wash or detail shop every time these show up. I’ve tried things like a clean wet, lint free rag but it doesn’t help.

The magic eraser works fairly decent but it won't fully remove deep scuff marks. I don't know anything that will.

I have Cashmere interior. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is your friend when it comes to scuffs on the door panels.

The absolute best thing I've ever seen get shoe smugges off is 3M Adheasive Remover.

If you have a lot of smugges, get some, it will work miracles.

The magic eraser works pretty well also simple green. I have the cashmere interior as well and have found that keeping up with it makes the cleaning job easier. That is try not to let the scuff marks stay on a long time and give them a chance to set in, clean em off right away.

I've always had great results with the magic eraser on my oak door panels.
