Hi everyone. I was outta the country for a few weeks...my gf had been driving my Z around. Took the day off to wash/clean it up and I found some huge scuff marks inside the door (see pic below). Apparently getting in and outta the car her heels would scuff up against the door

Anyways I was hoping one of you experts out there could tell me what I can do/buy to get rid of these...im not really much of a detailing expert.

I use the 303 Aerospace Protectant on those. Mine weren't nearly as bad but it should do the trick.

damn.. that is pretty bad. So 303 really removes those kinds of scuffs?

What about trying one of those Mr Clean "Magic Erasers"? They clean scuff marks off hardwood floors, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same thing for the hard rubber / plastic of door panels.

use armour all if you want the "wet" look
but id recomend the aerospace 303 it takes mine right out
im 6'2 so my legs end up scuffing the panels but it should come off

Mine isnt as bad as the OP (wow). I'm wrapping my panels in leather, probably just wrap that portion as well....

The 303, or other auto interior cleaner should take those right out.

I can tell you from personal experience even if you're extremely careful, high heels will catch on the doors. The worst is when some charming person has parked you in real close and gives you no space to get back into your car.

Best fix in your case OP is some form of interior protectant, they don't look too bad, more like little brushes than scratches. You're lucky.

Yeow!! You sure Chuck Norris didnt drive it? I like to drive with the wheel all the way down..but to get out I push the wheel up so I can get my legs out easier. Mebbe thatll make the scuffing less likely to happen for her?

Yank her by the hair and plant her face to the scuff marks and scream "You see that?!? WTF? I don't want to see that ever again you understand me you ******* dumbass *****..!! Now lick it clean!!!






j/k..... 303 all the way. Tell your girl to maybe try driving next time with her shoes off. Most girls I know who drives stick do that.

^agreed that Chuck Norris probably drove it.

Ouch! that happened in my accord from me being stupid, and I never got them out. Some were actual scratches too. I never drive with shoes now because its just too easy to crap up your car like that.

Maybe just order a new door panel? If you do try to get the scuffs out or make your GF do it, don't use anything that isn't made to clean plastic unless you are confident it won't hurt it (like maybe that magic eraser block). Tell your GF, do NOT use nail-polish remover, it will fade the plastic.
