Scuff Marks Inside Door - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Runawayhacker · 10-09-2011, 12:40 PM

I have a 2011 1SS and have noticed every time I clean my car, there are white scuff marks on the plastic of the door. Granted, they wipe away with some Armor All wipes, but they always re-appear a day or so later. I keep my car in immaculate condition, so I know I'm not just being careless and scratching my doors being careless.

I think they may be from little things like your foot hitting the inside of the door when getting in, or something similar. If that is the case, then this is some really cheap ass plastic GM used. Anyone else have this problem?

P.S. Pics next time it shows up. Didn't think to take pics BEFORE I cleaned my car

Dont use armor all!

I could understand if it were just the lower area, but places where my elbow might hit and even on the top ledge near the window... For a while, I thought it was a residue that the wipes were leaving behind, or it was the "new car" chemicals being burned off; but I've since changed how I clean with the wipes and I still get it.

Is there a cleaner/protectant that could help this?

Are You sure this isn't the results of dead aka dried skin cells shedding as you rub exposed body parts against the door panels?

..............more likey a non greasy skin care product/lotion is in order.
