Default Interior touchup

Hey guys, towards the bottom of my passengers side door there appears to be a white speck that I'm pretty sure was created from passengers accidentally kicking the panel. I thought it would just wipe off, but it appears as if the paint was actually chipped off in the area.

Does anyone know of any way I could touch this up / get rid of the blemish? It's really small, but it's driving me nuts.

I'm glad someone posted about this. I have the same exact thing from my driver side door as well. As well as scratches on the door handles. Curious how to get rid of the blemishes as well.

If Armorall does not work, you may want to try Meguliars NXT vinal/plastic protection. The damn stuff is like a syrup and does a heck of a job. Only thing is the next time your passanger trys to get out they will probably slip off it and kill themselves. Do not use that stuff anywhere near the stearing wheel or shifter. The stuff makes everything pretty slick.

or maybe a brillo pad to blend them in then some kind of protection to gloss it

I've had this problem as well. The white specs show up on the rubbery surface around the door handle (in the section right behind the cup holder in the above pic) once they are scratched.

I figured sharpie/laundry pen was the practical solution.

Mine aren't exactly scuff marks, they look like white dots. I thought it was just dust at first, but it won't come off....
