Hey everyone, I got my tC a week ago or so and ive noticed that when it rains and when i shoes touch my door panels upon exiting they get like streaks, and they seen impossible to rub off. Anyone know how to clean these?



Thanks, ibiza

 

Hi Ibiza,
I have the same problem (though not only when it rains since I wear heels). The best way I have found to get the scuff marks off is with a claybar (recommended by someone here on SL). I bought a Claybar Magic kit from Autozone for $10 that comes with the clay and clay lubricant. It also works amazingly well for water spots, sap and other things that get on the car. -Jayme

 

YEAH baby...good idea...

Ahhhh great tip. Thanks!

 

Hi Jeff,
Thanks, although I can't take credit for the idea since someone else told me about it. Ha ha, I was gone, but only for a week. I'm back now and keeping an eye on the forums again :-). -Jayme

Thanks for the tip, imma go ahead and get one of them bars tom, or so. I guess this is some sort of rubbing bar....i doubt its like actual clay and like, clay paste thing...


Ill check it out at autozone tom.



*edit* just double checking, this is for the interior door panels right?



Sry, just makin sho'

 

i'm a bit confused, did you have problems with streaks/scuffs on the interior door trim or the exterior door panel?...

in either case clay bars are typically used to clean exterior painted surfaces (and does an awesome job of it)... i could be wrong, but i don't know if clay bar is recommended for interior plastics... if you are talking about the interior i'd recommend soap/water then follow it up with a bit of protectant...

and yes the clay bar is actually "clay"...

good luck...

 

My problems were on the interior.

 

Ibiza...

Something I've been using for about a year now is Armor All 'cleaning wipes'. (purple canister) I was using them on my Tacoma Prerunner and Tahoe all the time. I had and difficult time getting in and out myself. Looks like a swifer...but its moist. It takes away scuff markers, dirt, grim and just about anything you couldn't get out with soap and water! I swear by them now.

You can pick up a 'can' of these wipes for about $6-8.

 

i need to try that........
