    First Scuffmark... From a soon to be hospitalized neighbor.

    Try using a Mr. Clean Magic eraser on the scuff mark. I had some marks on the plastic interior door panels and nothing would take it off without destroying the plastic. My wife swears by the damned things so I tried it and sure enough, it worked! It even took scuff marks off of the leather...

    Thanks! Thanks guys for your comments, suggestions and fixes. Think I'll try the upholstery shop as the price seems to be in line with good quality covers and I'm sure it'll look even better. :)
