Welcome to Club Lexus! Those scuffs are actually pretty easy to remove most of the time. I usually use vinegar or rubbing alcohol but it may not work in your case since you tried all those. If you have a light paint polish you can give that a try. Those scuffs are all from your shoe hitting it when you get in/out of your car

If all else fails, I would suggest a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, but that is last resort as that is quite the microabrasive

Here are a couple more suggestions I've had good results with.

I use a couple products for tough vinyl cleaning. First there is Meguiar's M39 and M40 from their Professional Mirror Glaze line. M39, Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner, is about the best dedicated vinyl cleaner I've used. M40, Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditoner, has lightly less cleaning power but leaves behind a nice sheen.

I've also had good results using Meg's APC and APC Plus products from their Detailer line mixed 4:1.

I'd suggest using one of these products with a toothbrush to remove the marks. It doesn't appear from the photos that the area is scuffed so I don't think you will encounter a texture matching issue.
