Exclamation

I've been hitting EVERYTHING on my Fit with Honda Brand Spay Polish / Cleaner and a low lint rag - works great for scuffs on door panels, seat base plastic bits and door sill plastics!!!

mild soapy water on a good wash rag. It is not leather so who would want to use leather cleaner? The shoe marks is something Ive seen on my Fit and was very concerned about. It cleans up easy.

Does anyone know of a DIY fix for this? Any ideas on what could be possible Anyone know of a film protectant or something of the sort. I was thinking there's gotta be something we could do to help that little spot on the door from getting scuffed.

They should make a Honda OEM door scuff trim like they do with the sills. That would be sick. I might look into custom pieces...
