iono11200 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I've only had my 16' Tacoma for only 2 weeks now. I've noticed these marks on my drivers side door. Does anyone know what they are from? Or what I can use to remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 3Dautoclean Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Are they from something you put into the cup holders? They have a pattern to em too so I wonder if the are from fasteners or something behind the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 3Dautoclean Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Oh...Adams All Purpose Cleaner should remove that easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cev103 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The marks on the lower panel look like scuff marks from your shoes, Not sure about the area around the cup holder. I would try either leather & interior cleaner or APC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cchrider Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If your talking about the scuff marks, like posted above I would use some all purpose cleaner and a soft brush. I have black textured plastic door panels in my 13' sierra and always have those. Always a pain to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 iono11200 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Have only had the truck for 14 days. Have not put anything in the cup holders yet. The scuff marks or what I believe to be scuff marks were there the day I picked the truck up. So far I have ONLY wiped down the interior with a damp cloth, but that has done nothing. I can hardly believe that Toyota will allow a $39,000 truck to leave the factory like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 iono11200 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Some has suggested 303 Aerospace Protectant. Not sure if that or an all purpose cleaner would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 That's Toyota plastic for you. Scuffs easily. The non Adams product mentioned above is not what you want as it is solely a dressing. Try diluted apc with a soft brush. But most likely it's there to stay as the plastic is scuffed. Apply some leather conditioner on the panel after cleaning to see if it hides the scuffs.

0 BRZN Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The scuffs will wash off unless the plastic has been scratched, if it has been scratched the only thing to do is hide it with a protectant like Adam's Leather Conditioner, or Total Interior Detailer. The Marks in the cup holder, from the picture, appear, to me, to be where the thin layer of plastic was adhered to the door panel. If that is the case it won't wash off and continued scrubbing will only damage the plastic making it look worse. The best you will be able to do, is again, hide it with Leather Conditioner or Total Interior Detailer. Take the truck back to the dealer and let them look at it if you just purchased the vehicle.

0 Bill-V8V Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just looks like marks from manufacturing, as already mentioned diluted APC and a soft brush then a little dressing. But if you have the Total Interior Detailer try that first, you would cover both steps in one process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
