HI

I have a lite tan interior .
I have scuff marks created by my shoes on the plastic interior pieces.
I tried cleaning it with soap and water, and windex.
Neither seemed to work.

What are you using to clean your car ?

A Magic Eraser( used VERY gently) for marks you can't get out with normal means on the threshold should help. Follow it with some sort of protectant like 303(non-gloss is best, I think) to give a little sheen and some prevention.

Try using a little tire shine, not wheel/rim cleaner. Tire shine doesn't contain any harsh chemicals that can damage the plastics and materials of your car. I use it mostly on bug and road grime. It should remove the marks. I wouldn't put it on the leather and/or trim panels. It won't damage them, but it will be a pain to remove.

If all else fails, elbow grease will get it off.

I have a parchment interior and asked the same question on this forum for scuffs, marks on the door sills, etc. A member suggested Ultima interior gel shampoo. I purchased it and it works perfectly without fear of doing damage to the finish. It also removes dye transfer (from blue jeans) on the leather.
I highly recommend it as a cleaner for light colored interiors.

Bc, do you have ventilated seats? If so, does the ultima get into the holes ? Getting some color transfer from jeans, and want to take it off.

Yes, I do have ventilated seats. The solution is creamy and using it sparingly prevents any saturation. It takes the blue stain out perfectly. Costs about $20.00 online which, to my knowledge, is the only way to get it. Check out www.autogeek.com

I think that's where I got it.

Bill, here I was thinking 409 would do the trick on the plastic parchment scuff plate and door panel. Seeing you advice, I'm going to think twice.

409 might remove the scuffs, but might also remove the finish Art. I can't remember who it was, but one of the guys recommended the Ultima Gel shampoo and it works great.

Great, thanks man! I'll purchase some if the ultima and try it out.
