How to clean rubber area on the top part of the consoles / doors - 2011 IS250
Does anyone know if there is a product that will help clean the rubber part of the console, also on the doors for the ISx50 (possibly remove any weird scuff marks)?
It's a very firm material, yet it feels like a very dense rubbery material that lines the top portion of the ISx50 doors. When I clean them with a rag, sometimes I may have pressed a bit too hard and leaves a white-ish rub mark, been having a hard time getting rid of it.
Also, if anyone has the deep, shiny black center console trim for the ISx50 has anyone noticed it scuffs VERY easily? Anyone know of a type of polish that will restore it and remove any small scratches?
Any advice would be appreciated; I apologize in advance if there is a thread for this I wasn't sure what to search for heh.
Thank you.

IME, a good treatment for the exterior hard rubber and vinyl trim is Meguiar's UQW. This product is also available in their Detailer line in larger sizes and known there as Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax. This synthetic is a wipe-on/wipe-off sealant that leaves the trim looking like new. It can be applied in the direct sun and doesn't dry white. It also doesn't run when it gets wet like so many of the dedicated trim treatments do. I use this on all exterior parts of the vehicles, paint, glass, all trim including chrome/ss. The appearance/protection lasts for several weeks. I find it best to clean the rubber and vinyl trim with an APC prior to application.
For interior cleaning and UV protection I use Meg's Quik Interior Detailer. QID can be used on all interior parts, dash, leather, vinyl, hard rubber and even NAV screens. QID dries with zero added gloss whatsoever so no glare from the dash. If I need/want a little higher patina, I use either Ultimate Protectant or their #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner from their Professional line.
For heavy cleaning of vinyl and rubber parts, I either use APC or #39, Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner from their Pro line. #39 is the best vinyl and rubber cleaner I've ever used, FWIW.
