Removing scuff marks on plastic

Does anyone know of a good scuff mark remover? The scuff marks I refer to are on the interior lower drivers door panel and have been caused by shoes catching on the black plastic.
I have tried a brush and soap/water.
Any thoughts?

not sure if ita a good idea or not, but I just wipe them over with the leather cleaning wipes after doing my seats, seems to lift off most of the scuff, and I have the beige interior so they really show up

I have the cream beige interior and use a Autoglym magic sponge. Just wet and rub on scuff, has removed mine with ease. About £2 e-bay, there is also a full scuff kit by Autoglym.

At £23 a bottle. I will try the £2.00 autoglym option first suggested by great bm.
I will let you know how it goes.

Before applying the expensive products get the maximum amount of dirt off first. Personally I recommend Johnson baby wipes as they get shit off anything! Especially dried on mud in the cracks of the trim texture.
