Default interior plastic scuffs

Anyone know of a good product that will remove those pesky scuff marks that we accidently leave on our interior plastic when getting in and out of the car?

Yeah, i forgot about those too. Gotta be carefull when your buckling up. Making sure it goes right in the hole rather than blindly poking around for it. Makes for some mean scuffs if your not carefull.

I put some plastic and leather trim on my doors. But instead of using a rag to put it on I just spray the trim on the door panel. Leave it for a bit and then wipe it off. It doesn't get rid of the scuff but it does hide it really well

I've got alot of scuffs there myself from the previous owner. For the seatbelts, get some velcro,and put the a strip with the fuzzy side on the seatbelt by the console. That'll stop it from getting worse.

my interior is pretty scuffed from when i was installing my system and running wires all over the place. I was thinking about sanding all the interior pieces down and painting them black to match the outside of my car, but i'm sure that will get fucked just as fast.

I know the feeling as well. There's a company out there that makes some sort of product that really helps to clean up those scratches, but I'm not sure what it's called or who makes it. Check some online shops that specialize in car care. It's funny that all those marks are on the passenger side of my car.

My daughter-inlaw just told me about something that she used on her car that did a good job on a lot of the scuffs she had. I can't verify it cause I have yet to try it, just going on her word. She said she used a thing called The Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean. I guess it is some sort of sponge type thing. I would try it on a hard to see spot on the interior first to see it's effect on the plastic, but she said it worked great on her car.
