Default Door panel scruff removal

Occasionally, in tight parking spaces my shoe may rub against the plastic on the lower portion of the driver’s door plastic panel when exiting. This leaves a scuff mark that I have attempted to remove with various cleaners – – including ArmorAll Original and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They help some, but the underlying scuff is still there. Do you have any suggestions on removing such scuffs from the plastic on your door?

I'll admit that I accidentally brushed my shoe a time or two against the door panel while getting out. You have to be mindful if you want to avoid scuffs, it's one of those things that bothers me as well. I had good luck with CARPRO EliXir Quick Detailer as it does a nice job darkening plastic trim and giving it a conditioned look, it completely hid my very minor scuffs. It may not help if yours are more severe, a deep abrasion in the plastic is what it is.

I kind of wish they applied some matching fuzzy carpet to the lower part of the door panel like they did in the 90s. I saw there are aftermarket stick on covers available, you might want to take a look:
