Door Sills Scuff Marks

Any idea on the scuff marks on the door sills. Getting into the car when the shoes touch the sills leaves scuff marks that I cannot remove. Looks like the color wears off but is scuff marks.

I used SoftSrub to deal with these. I worked well. I then used Flitz to polish the sills. It looks great now!

Be Careful with 'green stuff'. There is Mean Green, which is a harsh degreasing chemical, and there is Simple Green, which is a biodegradable, fairly mild chemical. They come from different companies. I've never heard of Green Stuff, but I imagine someone may have been referring to one of these products. I use Simple Green on my boat, in my house, and in the car. It will clean just about anything with almost no risk of damaging anything. Just don't use it on leather... don't use anything on leather that wasn't made for leather... I use Mean Green in the house only. It's good stuff, but you never really know what it is going to do to dyed plastics or any sort of fabric.
