Shoe marks on interior

[Jibbajabba]

From my son kicking the glove box or people hitting the trims with their shoes, I have tried several different products including anything that ‘Autofinesse’ offers.

Has anyone got a good product that works as well as tips how to attack those stains ?

Try Mr Sheen...

That ruined an older dashboard for me.

I have used Mequiars super degreaser and a toothbrish on the shoe scuffs you get on the plastic lower base of seat (where everyone's heel tends to hit as they get in/out of the car). It takes a good 15 minutes of wiping, and scrubbing in a circular motion, then more degreaser and try again, but it seemed to work.

I am not sure about the dashboard, as I have never seen shoe marks on a dash. I tend to find zymol leather cleaner good for the worst stains though. It's a thick gel and you apply and work in gentle circles with a microfibre cloth. I don't think its too expensive.

I don't have shoe marks on the dashboard Just saying that Mr Sheen once ruined a dash board as we used that once as part of a recommendation ... scuffs are just where you'd expect them .. mainly bottom of door and glove box after son sitting in car seat.

Ok, sorry. Maybe not a wise recommendation, then. I’ll withdraw it. But having said that, I’ve used it on the hard plastic seat surrounds and door thresholds for years with no problem.

I wouldn’t use Mr Sheen on a dashboard though, not the top, anyway, I don’t want that area to shine, too much reflection in the windscreen.

Completely off topic, but that reminds me of when a mate bought his first house 40 or so years ago.

The bath looked a bit sad, so he spent a couple of hours cleaning it and then for the final lustre, polished it with car wax. It looked wonderful, but it was impossible to get into or out of

Try screenwash on a micro fibre cloth. I find that quite useful on interiors.

Poorboys Natural Look Dressing

Used it for years - cleans and protects. Smells great too.

I find it's not so much about the product, but about using a little nail brush in circular motions

Use a magic eraser with some all purpose cleaner.

I once bought a car that had toe/footprints on the inside of the windscreen

Maybe it was just a DIY effort to remove the screen for replacement

Before or after you bought it?
