Default Scuff marks advice

Okay, I use Zaino for the paint, well, how about those nasty black scuff marks on my door sills and speakers? I keep on rubbing my sneakers on the sills and speakers everytime i get out.

Mr Clean magic eraser may clean it up for you. I used it on mine recently was was surprised at how well it cleaned up. I wiped over it with some Armor all afterwards and could hardly notice the scuffs. I have the black interior (so black sills), if you have beige or a lighter color ...you may want to go easy with the rubbing at first not knowing how it will react - ie. maybe try it on the inside portion of the sill (like up in the foot well area first). Just an idea.

I had good luck with the Mr. Clean on my shale interior. Go as lightly as possible to avoid any abrasions.

I had the same question last night, but I looked "Scuff Marks" up in the search and found a suggestion for a little WD-40 sprayed on a paper towel and since I had that on hand, I tried it and it came out much better than I had imagined. Not perfect, but not too noticeable either.


I'm going to get some 303 and some of the wipes just for quick touchups.

Let us know how it comes out.
