Default interior plastic panels

I kinda 'grazed' the lower panel of my driver side door with my shoe and left a very visible white mark on it.

i tried scrubbing and wiping and i can still faintly see a line on it
it couldnt been deep cause i grazed it with the rubber part of my shoe.

anyone have any solution to this?

I use Meguiars interior cleaner to clean my inside. I had a few of those shoe marks when getting out, the detailer seemed to have taken it off pretty good. I just used a terry cloth to wipe it down after.

well it doesnt leave any of that sticky residue like the armorall wipes I used before, so I don't think it is, unless its the invisible drying oil.

You could try a dedicated interior cleaner or dilute some APC (all purpose cleaner) at 1:20 or so. Car shampoo can be kind of gentle and isn't strong enough to remove stubborn stuff.

I've heard that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will remove scuff marks. Haven't tried it myself. I'd certainly try it on an inconspicuous place first.
