Default Interior Door panels - scuffs

How best to clean the interior door panels? I have some shoe scuffs near the bottom that don't wash off. I was all set to order some Harly Poly-Guard (based on previous posts here), but the product description sounds more like a protectant than a cleaner. Can anyone confirm that it cleans off scuff marks, or recommend a different product to do so?

Default there's a tech article for fixing scratches for onyx interor panels

May want to check that out if yours are onyx. It would cover scuffs as well

Default I have success getting minor scuffs off with a healthy dose of Lexol Vynlex

If they are gouges or scratches in the plastic it wont' work

Default I believe Ted has mentioned that the Harly is a cleaner and protectant.

Unless I've been reading his posts all wrong.

303 and Vinylex have worked for me, TedK loves the Harly Poly Gard.

Default It cleans off scuff marks. I use it on my S4, which admittedly I'm careful...

but LI-S4 had scuffs that he couldn't get off, and the Harly took it right off. Definitely order some, you won't be disappointed.

Default Clarification: While the product description at Car Care Specialties doesn't indicate...

its a cleaner, from my experience, it has gotten any marks, dirt and scuffs off the vinyl and the interior surfaces. I just redid my S4 this weekend after 4 months. It didn't really even need it as it still had a nice satin shine, but I felt like what the heck. I really like this product, it does an excellent job and REALLY LASTS.
