    Question about getting scuff marks out of vinyl/plastic trim

    I'm having a devil of a time getting these scuff marks out from a kick panel in my car. I have used APC+ 10:1 and 4:1 and been scrubbing religiously but can't seem to get rid of them.

    Is there a better product out there for this purpose?

    Re: Question about getting scuff marks out of vinyl/plastic trim

    Seeing this has been unanswered, I'm going to bring this one back from the dead.

    I have similar scuffs on the plastic trim around the driver seat on a 2000 Lexus GS I was cleaning up for someone, and even scrubbing it with a soft-medium bristled interior brush and Meg's APC I couldn't get more than some of the lighter ones off, and they look awful.

    I was reading a few threads about people using lighter and heat gun heat to burn them off, but that seemed more of a solution for darker panels and not so much the lighter colored ones, or am I wrong?

    What are some solutions to this issue?

    Gently with a Magic Eraser

    In the right application...they are amazing!

    1855Cru: did you try your APC at full strength?

    Thanks Allen, I've not used one before, but I will definitely give it a shot.
