303 aeropsace protectant. DO NOT use "OILS" (ex: armor all)... use only water based products for the interior and exterior moldings.

+1

oil-based products will end up drying it out if you don't keep reapplying it

The marks are higher up near the arm rest on the door panel itself. I need something with a dye i think.

Is it on the leather panels? I found that too on the passenger side - turned out to be my significant other's over-use of sun-tan lotion. Some leather conditioner (meguiars) cleaned it up nicely.

Agreed on armor-all and the like. They make it look nice but then it gets smudged and inevitably all over the glass and never comes off. Better to just use a damp rag.

oddly enough I have the same marks. I am the only driver and I don't wear oils that would cause it. I've been having a hard time determining what causes the faint marks.

Mothers back to black works well. Im not sure if its oil based, but its rather liquidy so I would have to say its water based.

NXT Interior Protectant will work for itnerior panels but the "wear marks" will come back after a few days.

How about shoe polish? That might be the best solution.
