Removing scuffs from plastic
I recently purchased a used car that has some scuffing on the plastic trim on the base of the driver's seat. Any sugguestions as to how to remove the scuffs?

Try APC on a rag, if that don't work, try APC on a Magic Eraser. Be very gentle with the Magic Eraser
If neither of these options work, its permanent

I assume that APC is all purpose cleaner? Any preferred brand?
Somebody told me to try lighter fluid (naphtha)?

Idk about the lighter fluid.... I would just not try that.

Yes, pretty much any APC and a magic eraser. Be gentle, the ME is doing what sand paper does and if you rub too hard you'll burnish the finish.

Lighter fluid is an old school trick. Haven't heard that one in a long time
Its going to be tuff to prevent this marks in the future from causing permanent damage

Slap an Autogeek sticker over it and forget about it
