Stumbled on to something using Magic Eraser
 
Saw on the forum where folks had used Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for shoe scuffs on their sill panels, so I gave it a try.

Went from this

To this

While admiring how well it worked on the scuffs I noticed the area had also lost the shiny, greasy look its had since I bought the car a couple years ago. The gentleman I bought the car from really liked the Armor All shine! So I tried the Eraser on an inconspicuous spot at the back of the door panel just to see what it'd do to the overly glossy black trim.. an hour and a half later I had the whole interior done :thumbs:
Just a spray bottle with tap water to keep the Eraser wet, very light rubbing, and a couple microfiber towels all the black trim has the very low satin finish it should have.

Thanks.
Yes it does! My wife has used them for water line stains in the pool for years.. never even thought about trying it inside a car.

I'll have to give that a try. My door sills look just like that. Thanks for the tip. :cheers:

I'll try that next week. Thanks for the tip.

I'll need to try that -- my sills could use a little cleaning up.
Thanks for the tip.

Although you like the satin finish, you just removed everything from the vinyl/rubber. I'm not sure if the vinyl/rubber can dry out too much or not.

I love magic erasers. LOL :D

I'm really tired and have no idea why what I typed was funny. My point was that you could cause it to crack over time.

I had the same scuffs on a AE door sill. Magic eraser worked well.

I just thought you were being sarcastic about the greasy mess I was able to get rid of doing some good. I didn't get a before pictute of the rest of the interior because I didn't plan on doing what I did. The car pretty much lived in a garage for 14 years before I purchased it.. and as far as I can tell was Armor All'd monthly :D
I can start piling on the protectant, but now I'm just starting with a clean canvas.

It even got rid of the annoying little marks the key fob had made below the ignition switch.

Now apply some 303 protectant an you should be fine. Rub the 303 in and it will not shine like Armor All, keeping the satin look

Those are some of the NICEST interior pics I've ever seen... GREAT job!
