Scuffs
I was wondering if there is a good way to remove scuffs (on my inside side door area). I tried rubbing it out with my fingers to remove some of the marks, but I can't seem to get rid of all of it. oh these are shoe scuffs btw. any suggestions? maybe something like armor all type of cleaning agent would help remove it..i dunno. thanks in advance.

Sounds like you need a polish. Try something like SIP, OC, or SFX-1. For an OTC solution, try ScratchX. If you use OTC "cleaners", "pure polishes" and "glazes", you'll just temporarily mask it.

For scuffs on interior plastic trim pieces you have a couple of options. I'm referring to the ones by door sills/kick panels/lower seat panels, etc.
I first try using either P21s Total Auto Wash http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/totalautowash.html or Poorboys APC http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com...dable-apc.html . Both will essentially accomplish the same thing, it just depends whats in arms reach for me. Use this in conjunction w/ a microfiber towel. Allowing the product to dwell for a few seconds may help in removal.
If this doesnt work, you can then move to 0000 steel wool. I've removed countless scuff marks this way. You need to be patient and cautious though. This can slightly change the texture of the plastic if you're not careful. Nothing really noticeable from more than a foot away though.
