Scuff marks from shoes

[IngotGT2016]

anyone got any good ideas how to protect the door sill and door from getting marked and worn with shoes hitting them?
I went to Bunnings and found some sticky backed ribbed rubber for adding grip to boats etc but it does not want to stick to the surface I am trying to protect.
Don't want to stick it with glue as it might wreck the surface anyway.
Any other ideas.
I am pretty tall so getting in and out is a bit tight.

I know a lot of people comment on the issue with the steering wheel making it harder to get in, but I never had this issue after the first time I got in and felt like I was going to a yoga class.
So instead of stepping into the car, I sat first then swiveled my legs in. Harder when someone parks close, but never felt like I was auditioning for cirque de solei again

Yeah, I kick mine almost every time. :doh:
I'm fine if I open the door fully, but almost never have that much open space beside me. I wish other manufacturers would copy Porsche doors. There are more opening indents to choose from and they are spaced better.

I also scuff mine on entry, lucky nothing to drastic so far. I just make sure to wipe it over and clean it every week when I wash it. If I was getting in with boots or something a little harder everyday I'd probably take them off first.

None of the scuffing has left anything permanent.

Clear vinyl wrap like as per the body wrap technique. The scuff plates can be done separately. For the door just apply 'being careful' I guess.

Yep thinks that the answer
Maybe I will have give up wearing the Spurs while riding my pony! :lol:

I bought some Meguiars vinyl & rubber protectant and that seems to have helped remove the scuff marks from the plastic parts of the door sills. I think it will do the job - building up protection if I use it each week. On the metal strip, I will try stainless steel appliance spray - when I get first scratches on that part.

I think the answer is to change your technique for entering and exiting....

Yeah I do the whole swivel, bend and twist as I get in and out.

Must look like some kind of contortionist.

My camera broke shortly before I did the naked backflips on the deck of Parsifal.

What makes it so awkward? Are the Sill plates / pillar really high causing you to have to lift your leg up quite high or something, or??

I put 3m film on the parts my kids scuff. It looks terrible but does the job

How about this?
