but I've got more scuffs on my door on this car than on any other car I've ever owned. I've tried cleaners and plastic/vinyl treatments, but they really just temporarly hide the scuffs. Wish there was something more effective that would actually rub the scuffs out without being too abrasive to the plastic door panel...

Join the club, i think it's the door location vs seating postition plus the color of the car

I have the same problem, and I'm by no means tall. I try to be very careful.

Default are you actually scrapping the plastic? what kinda soles on your shoes?
steel bottoms?!? ;-)

i use Vinylex from Lexol and it works great to smooth out the finish on the plastic.
