As seen in the picture, I have a few of these on the lower plastic of the interior. Has anyone experience these marks and successfully removed them? Thanks. Sorry about the RAZR Cam.

Yes, I have removed them on numerous occasions. I cannot recall the exact product name, but it is made by Mr. Clean. It is like a small, mildly abrasive sponge shaped like a brick. Gentle enough that it does not hurt the plastic. Soap and water, along with a little elbow grease does get rid of the vast majority, if not all of these scuff marks.

And it is exactly this type of issue that will have me gettting the black interior on my next car instead of the gray!

Try the orange soap mechanics use. It's mildly abrasive and does a good job removing those scuff marks.

If not mistaken those plastics are very cheap from the dealer. Like $10 or $20. I'm not sure if they are worth the elbow grease.

Please try to take the Caps off in future messages. It makes the message easier to read and it doesnt make you like you "scream" at others. I'm sure you didn't know.

That's the one I'm talking about. And it really doesn't require much elbow grease, back and forth once or twice usually does the trick.

Yep. I picked up some of these today for my wife's car (no scuffs on mine). They work wonders, or even . . . magic? <_<
