Scuff marks

I'm wondering what's the best way to remove scuff marks on the interior plastic of the car. Sometimes when I get out of the car I accidentally 'kick' the inside door panel. Also, the thing that really bugs me are these white marks left behind after wiping the inside door handles (the black rubbery ones). It's like wiping and trying to clean them makes it worse.

Any ideas? Anyway to restore the panel and handle to like new condition?

Thanks!

I just try not to hit them with my feet. My Girl trys to do the same as well. Along with guest in my car. However I did find that Maguires makes a interior cleaner and that works real well on the scuffs. Hope that helps.

Which Meguiar's product is that? #40? Or some new NXT thing?

Try black paste shoe polish. After buffing use a protectant like armorall and rub the area to blend it in. This works especially weil on the threshold trim.

Windex makes a decent surface cleaner. I spray on a towel and then whipe. The scuffs come right off.
