Default A question for owners of white HAH's - I need tips on stain removal!

Okay, I know it's a superficial topic, but I need some tips from any fellow white HAH owners. This is only my 2nd white car ever. My first choice was the Desert Mist but I couldn't find one back in April around my area. So my second choice was the white because I wanted a tan interior. Since I've owned it, the white has really grown on me and I love how it looks now.

I was worried that it would easily get dusty and dirty, but I've been pretty pleased with how it looks even between washes (usually once a week or every 2 weeks). I used to have black and that was the worst - it would look dusty right after I washed it.

But the problem I'm having is with scuffs, I think generally from rubber shoe soles. I always notice a few black scuffs right at the base of the car, right underneath the doors. I guess it usually happens when the driver or a passenger gets out and their shoes hit the side of the car before getting out. When I go to wash the car, I'm able to get these stains out, but it takes quite a bit of effort rubbing out those marks with the cheesecloth side of my car wash mitt. Question is...does anybody have a better, quicker way to remove these kinds of stains? Maybe some type of solution? I don't to mess up the finish on the paint, but was hoping there is a shortcut.

Also, what does everyone use to clean the Navi screen? I've been using dry cotton cloths to wipe it, but thought maybe there is a cleaner I should use. And what about the wood trim?

Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!!
