spray a light coat of 409 cleaner on a tooth brush and work it into the scuff mark. It'll come out. Your panels are poreous, that's why it's hard to get scuff marks out. The dirt/grime is embedded in the pores of the panel material. The bristles from the toothbrush will be able to wedge into the pores.

I get the same scuff marks all the time from my dress shoes for work, but they seem to come right off when I wash my car with a little elbowgrease.

I love how the kickplates are behind and below the plastic ridge (which is what gets all beat to hell). Good engineering there.
