jb240sx Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Does anyone know how to remove scuffs on the door panels from people hitting them with their shoes. I've tried 303 and Meguire Quick Interior Detailer, neither seemed to do anything. Thanks in advance, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkl303 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Back when I was on the audi forums they recommended lexol mixture with a shoepolish but I doubt youd want that to end up on your clothes plus it probably doesnt match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTLegs Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i got tired of my scuffs, on my beige interior which were black, so i went to my friends interior shop who does all our old hot rods. he pulled out a bottle of some special order stuff and with a little scrubbing they all came right off. he said the company will not sell to the public, but he knows the owner well and they said that it is basically bug and tar removar (the company sells both too humm?). He said after you use the remover to clean the surface with a good interior cleaner and to condion it it necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedawgs Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Did you ask OCdetails yet. He is the man when it comes to detailing. I have scratches from my dog, so I feel your pain. It made me go and buy the pet guard to keep him in the back. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Traditionally for me ... most of it has been taken care of with mild soap and water and a little elbow grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I posted the same question a long time ago. I used 303 protectant and that helped greatly. Here's a link to my thread. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerami1981 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hmm..i just use armor all wipes or some kind of orange wipes that you can get at walmart in the auto section, takes care of all but the meanest and most ground in smudges and scuffs on the plastic surfaces. Its called Greased Lightening Orange Blast Wipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuksob03 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 mr. clean magic eraser worked pretty well for me, just make sure to rinse the residue off after you're done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTLegs Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 prior to using the remover my interior man suggested, i had scrubbed with magic eraser, all kinds of interior cleaners, even pure alcohol- all with no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedboost Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I had a similar problem with shoe scuffs on the lower door panels of my Grand Prix. They came off with a little shot of "Tuff Stuff" cleaner on one of those flat scrub pads (fiber not steel wool), used gentle pressure and it cleaner it up nicely. If the panel is actually scratched then you are SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 she also curbed 2 wheels on the passenger side... she bought me a new set of AR1's with new tires. She have a sister?! I still recommend soap and water. Try Dawn ... it does a great job of breaking things up. Always be sure to go back and treat everything when you're done.
