Black Plastic Door Panels & Bose Speaker Grill Scuffs

[2019 Tahoe]

Has anyone found somthing that works (without being too aggressive, or doing more damage than good), to remove those damn ugly shoe scuffs that some make when entering / leaving their vehicle?

We purchased our Tahoe new, and come to find "After The Fact" (bastards), the dealership had loaned it out previously, and who ever they loaned it to, scuffed the hell out of it...

And now the Dealer is telling us, replacing these items is not covered under the warranty?

74 miles new when purchased... 3 weeks later it has 200.

Any help - ideas appreciated. Thank You

It’s not a warranty issue. It’s a dealer needs to replace them issue.

Did you not see the vehicle before signing for it?

Are you sure the door panels aren’t creaking when pulling the door closed

Believe it or not, It was recommended by a local detail shop, that I try a little gasoline on an old t-shirt to take it off... Just damp, not sopping wet, rub lightly. It worked! The gas evaporates quickly, has some lubricity to it and it left no oily residue or burning / melting into the plastic. I’d suggest that anyone try an inconspicuous location before using gas or any other solvent to clean with.

Glad that you got this fixed with minimal drama.

Another solution: Take a water-dampened Magic Eraser and rub the area in broad, even strokes with light to moderate pressure. Magic Eraser is a melamine foam that acts as a micro-abrasive, so you want to apply only enough pressure to do the job---too much pressure and you can inadvertently alter the sheen/finish of whatever you are cleaning.
