Door Panel Scuff Marks
Well, I done it, knew it was gonna happen. Scuffed up the lower door panel with my work boots getting out of the truck. Why would Ford mold a cupholder into the map pocket so it juts inside the cab? You hit it with your shoe every time you step out. Definitely not one of Ford's better ideas. Now I got a black skid mark on my tan door panel. Anybody got any ideas how to remove the shoe marks without fading or discoloring the door panel?

Somebody sent me this which I found interesting. Might work but I would try it on a hidden area first to see if it causes discoloration.
WD-40
When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has
cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well
as glass. It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stovetop . . . Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever
been. You'll be amazed.
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and
degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three
technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from
the project that was to find a "Water Displacement" compound.
They were successful with the Fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their Atlas missile parts.
The workers were so pleased with the product they began smuggling (also
known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home.
The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and put it in
aerosol cans. The rest is history. It is a carefully guarded recipe known
only to four people. One of them is the "brew master." There are about 2.5
million gallons of the stuff manufactured each year. It gets its
distinctive smell from a fragrance that is added to the brew. Ken East (one
of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt
you.
Here are a few of the 1000s of uses:
~ Protects silver from tarnishing
~ Cleans and lubricates guitar strings
~ Gets oil spots off concrete driveways
~ Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery
~ Keeps flies off cows
~ Restores and cleans chalkboards
~ Removes lipstick stains
~ Loosens stubborn zippers
~ Untangles jewellery chains
~ Removes stains from stainless steel sinks
~ Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill
~ Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing
~ Removes tomato stains from clothing
~ Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots
~ Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors
~ Keeps scissors working smoothly
~ Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
~ Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide
~ Lubricates gear shift and mower - deck lever for ease of handling on
riding mowers
~ Rids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises
~ Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open
~ Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close
~ Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards and vinyl bumpers
~ Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles
~ Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans
~ Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons and bicycles for easy
handling
~ Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly
~ Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools
~ Removes splattered grease on stove
~ Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging
~ Lubricates prosthetic limbs
~ Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell)
~ Removes all traces of duct tape
~ I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, and knees to
relieve arthritis pain.
~ Florida's favorite use was "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and
bumpers
~ The favorite use in the state of New York - protects the Statue of Liberty
from the elements.
~ WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be
catching the big one in no time. It's a lot cheaper than the chemical
attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using
some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some
states.
~ Keeps away chiggers on the kids
~ Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately, and stops
the itch.
~ WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe
with a clean rag.
~ Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried
a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with
WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
~ If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start. (If I knew what a distributor cap was,
it might help)
~ WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape smudges (sticky
label tape), is also a lovely perfume and air freshener! Sprayed liberally
on every hinge in the house, it leaves that distinctive clean fresh scent
for up to two days!
~ Seriously though, it removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor!
Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem
to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them
off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
~ Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use
WD-40!
