Default Scuff Marks

I have an oak interior on my 2000 Coupe, does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean scuff marks off the plastic. I have tried warm soap and water and they aren't coming off. Thanks

What part of the plastic? The door sills?

Buy a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Works great for removing scuffs. I had some on the my light gray sills and this easily removed them.

Also, a little WD-40 on a rag or paper towel might work well. Whatever you choose, try it on an inconspicious spot.

Magic Eraser might be okay, but go easy, especially if you're talking about scuffs on the lower door panels. Magic Erasers do contain some abrasives that may mar the surface of your door panel. Again, test on a hidden spot.

Definitely give this a try. Rub very lightly to begin with and see how it goes.

A little all purpose cleaner (maybe cut 10:1 with water) and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
