Scuff Marks inside door
 
I'm required to wear boots like all the time. Sometimes the tip of my boot scuff the inside door panel. Obvisouly I do my best to aviod this, but is there anything I could do to prevent this, or just old fashioned elbow grease and a rag.

Well I also wears boots everyday for work(military) and I just got used to "pulling" myself out of the car as opposed to "stepping" out of my car. Hard to explain, lol.

I know what you mean!
Instead of stepping inside your car to get out you open your door and take your foot out right away. Yes? :tup:

Is it possible to apply the same material as the clear bra to that area of the door, it's been almost two months since i test drove the z so i dont remember what the inside of the door area exactly looks like.

I put my right foot deep inside first, then I sit down, then I pull my left leg in avoiding the doors.

Try one of those Magic Eraser pads...All the fat-footed Corvette guys swear by them...

I don't even wear boots and mine looks kicked to hell, I just have big feet. I'm going to have to practice my disembark maneuver.

Magic Eraser pads are highly abrasive! Great for tires, flat-finished surfaces, but not for any gloss or semi-gloss surfaces.

At least you're not dealing with roommate... he feels the need to kick my passanger door open rather than use his arm to push it open. He no longer gets to ride along.

Tell me about it. I have been practicing that for days now, and still occasionally kick either the door at the bottom or the edge of the seat.

You could bring a change of shoes and just put on sneakers before getting into your car.

I was looking at some 370 pics today on another site, Car and Driver I think. Anyway, there was a pic of the interior, shot from the drivers side with the door open, and all over the sill, door bottom, and front section below the seating surface, were scuff marks and shoe prints lol

I wish scuffing was my only issue with the kick plates. Have a few gouges from dress shoes. Have to get in in tight conditions and it is either mess up the shoes or the plates. It is much cheaper to replace the plates after a couple of years if need be.

Bottle of vinylex and microfiber towel. Fits perfectly in the cubby behind the seats. :D

Practicing Yoga has helped me to deplane.
