I have an '17 Grand Sport. On both door speaker grills there is a subtle white line suggesting that someone's foot scraped the grill while getting out of the car. Anyone had any success finding a way to remove the scrape?

Have you tried to wipe them down with a damp towel?

I get those lines on my speaker grills all the time. Interior detailing spray on a microfiber cloth does the trick.

I've experience positive results with Mother's Return to Black or Meguiar's Ultimate Black.

Yes-that didn't do the trick. But I might try some detailing spray as others suggest. Thanks.

Thanks-I'll try that.

I've used Mr Clean's eraser sponges with success. Use just a little bit of water and a little pressure. Too much water and they don't work as well. Be careful not to rub too hard. That will start taking the finish off too. Good luck.

Turtle Ice Interior Care works wonders. Otherwise, a damp (lint free) cloth does the trick.

For over 60 years (Just realized I'm kind of old - over 75) I have used Windex applied to a course towel with outstanding success. It seems the secret is when using the COURSE towel it gets into the texture of the area. If the first application does not work, apply the windex directly to the area, let it sit for a minute then apply some elbow grease with the towel. Has worked with every car I have ever owned.

Ahhhhh. The 'Ol "BFGW" method........


this is one of those annoying little things that people do to our cars that leaves a lasting impression.

is it so difficult to NOT do this? I hopped in my wife's GMC pickup (All Terrain and almost as new as my C7) i noticed this on the door panel. Its from my kid. She KNOW this drives me nuts and has been aware of it for 20 years. Now it's time to teach the kiddies lol.

my Vette has it ever so slightly I haven't even addressed it yet. Idk who would have done it other that the plant workers, truck transporter or tech. Because you know MIKE FURMAN knows better lol.

Good suggestion. I had tried that but didn't have any luck.

I like to start out with the least aggressive product to do a job, you can always kick it up a notch, but it's hard go back once you've marred the original finish.

+1 to this. Just go easy. I also do this with Adams interior detailed and mr clean magic eraser. Honestly I use it quite a bit as I usually wear converse all stars with white soles. Really need some piloti's

Do the door panel speaker grills simply pop out with a small amount of prying action? I'd prefer to remove them to clean them on both sides but I do not want to brake any clips.

Mother's "Back to Black" works great also.

Eagle one detail spray and micro fiber towel.

I guess they call it a kick panel because I ususally kick it every time I get out. Luckily, I really never look there so I don't worry much about the marks. Strange in a way because I am **** about other things on the car.

I never hit the doors or sills, but Mr.owc6 does all the time. I just use the damp/wet MF cloth that I use to dry the car off after washing. It usually has Adams pink detail spray, or H2O guard and gloss, from the wipe down, and it makes the scuff marks disappear.

When you get the marks off consider installing a door panel protector.

I installed a clear plastic design on my C6 but found some discoloration in the plastic over time.

For my 2014 installed exterior color matched painted panels by RPI Design. Looked good but did not extend to the speaker cover.

For my new Grand Sport just installed a black plastic design purchased from RPI Desgns that fits into the door pocket for attachment (like my C6) but also covers the lower portion of the speaker cover. It uses an OEM panel screw to secure the front portion. Matches my black door panels. This is a PDF with pics of all three:
