If it's a deep scuff, you cannot do much about it. If it's a material transfer, like paint from something that nicked the rubber or vinyl, you can use a cleaner and get that off. But for the most part, once plastic, vinyl, or rubber has been scuffed, all you cann do is hide it with some sort of conditioner. You can't replace material that was scuffed off.

Just use a semi-gloss black paint. Try SEM Trim Black spray paint. Just spray it on some cardboard, dip a small artist brush in it and touch up the spots. This paint dries very quickly so you can layer the paint in a relatively short amount of time and VOILA!
