Remove Clear Scuff Marks on Exterior Side Skirts?

My TL is CBP and pretty clean except for these pesky clear scuff marks on the side skirts, created when people get in and out of the car and their shoe scrapes them. No color to them when you look straight on, but at certain angles you can see the marks. I've tried clay bar, clay wax, cleaner wax to no help. Any suggestions? I run a finger over the scuff marks and they seem smooth. I don't have too many of them but they are more prominent on the driver and passenger side skirts. How do I remove them?

Pics attached though scuff marks are hard to see:



Light, but you can see a scuff mark on left side of pic

Use a polishing compound. The key is to keep the cloth moist and full of polish. Polish is what will rub the scuff off. Keep adding polish as needed... simple.

Use rubbing compound if the scuff is into the clear... same technique.

If it's minor try tooth paste first before buying compounds.

Finish with wax if you want.

I went out over the weekend and bought a bottle. After using Scratch-X unsuccessfully for the last few years I was skeptical, but for <$10 I figured why not try it. Every scratch I applied it to disappeared. Amazing stuff.
