I have some "Skid marks" on the paint of my truck, from shopping carts... No dents, no paint chips, just the shopping cart paint transferred to my paint... For smaller marks, I have used the old carb cleaner trick... Works OK, but leaves the paint dull, even after re-waxing that spot... Recently I have gotten a shopping cart skid mark about a foot long on my passenger side rear door - I really don't want to hit that big of an area with carb cleaner...
Recommend me a product?
Edit: my truck is dark blue, wife's truck is black... If that matters....

Floor Mats
My black Weathertech mats are showing a little wear. The scuffed areas are showing lighter in color. I tried 303 protectant, and they looked much better; however, the 303 left them too slippery. What do you have that is suitable for mats and truck step pads.
So I've neglected to clean my wheels for some time now and the brake dust has been caked on it hard. I've tried Simple Green and various cleaners and nothing can take them off. I've even tried various power ***** and nothing seems to work. Talk about elbow grease...I'm all the way to the shoulder. Any tips on solutions/products to get my wheels back to their original shine?
When I clean my engine bay I use Simple Green full strength.I use a leaf blower to dry it along with running the engine for about 10 minutes.I then use spray silicone as my protectant to finish the job.Do you sell any engine cleaners and protectants?
