Cashmere Interior Owners
Okay...maybe it's just me, but anyone else having this issue...I find that everytime I look down at at the interior inside of the door sill (not where the Corvette logo is) but inside...it's covered in scuff marks...I guess I just keep hitting it with my feet and not realizing it...any suggestion on how to prevent this (other than picking up my feet)...be nice! It's very noticeable in a Cashemere interior

A very mild cleaning solution should be able to get the scuff marks off.
If a really major scuff occurs, try a small amount of the Soft Scrub product.
Considering how low our C6 is, it is very difficult to not scuff the entrance area you see getting marked up.
This is the main reason why I would never own anything but a dark color interior. In the case of the C6, that would be Ebony.
There may be no contrast, and high heat when it's hot with the Ebony, but not having to see scuff marks makes it worthwhile.
As for dust - which shows up on darker interior - that is easily wiped off in seconds.
You haven't reported on your seats yet, and I hate to be the messenger, but others on here have stated that the cashmere is very prone to marking on the seats too.
Belts, purses, brief case, etc. have all been reported as leaving marks on the seats.
Considering how you seem to be pretty on top of keeping your Vette looking its best, perhaps you will need to look into a good leather cleaning product.
Lexol has a great reputation. I have the Lexol conditioner, and it works great.

Yep, Mr Clean Magic Eraser in a box in your grocery store cleaning aisle. Very light rubbing required.

2) Don't drive your car.
3) Lift up your damn feet.
4) Go thru the window like a race car driver.

The sill, floor mat, and seat will all show some dirt. No matter how careful you are, you'll hit it some time. I suppose you could wear one of those clean room 'bunny suits' to drive. 
Most mild cleaning products will take the marks off in a jiffy. Just make it part of your cleaning routine. It is MUCH easier than keeping a black car shiny or keeping the brake dust off a Z06.

I have cashmere interior also, and the same problem. I took the mats out and replaced them with Lloyd's Ebony, looks great. This interior will take more cleaning and I'm sure a lot more helpful tips will be comming.

I also have a 35th Anniversary Edition Corvette...ALL WHITE INTERIOR. So I am used to interiors prone to scuffing. My Cashmere isn't as bad but it still takes a few prudent precautions like, always tuck the seat belt under your collar instead of letting it rub on your neck. That's how they get dirty. Also, lift your dang feet when you enter or exit the car. I never had a problem being able to do that. 
If it does get scuffed, just wipe it off.

I have noticed not only the scuff marks on the door sill, but also a blue discoloration on the seats from my jeans.
I guess I will have to start dressing better.

When they had the pumpkin colored one at the L.A. Auto Show with cashmire, the seats had turned almost brown/black from people getting in and out.
It's bad enough with the ebony with the scuffs...I feel sorry for the cashmire owners...but they do look great when new!

Now 800 mi on my LMB, Cashmire Coupe. No real marks or skufs as yet, but I'm sure it might require some additional attention in the future. But you know what, fine by me!!! With an LMB, cashmire is simply awesome!! By the way, thanks for the heads up on Mr Clean Magic.
