I have some scuffs on there, I figured it is inevitable unless you are driving around in socks.

Try polishing it? It will probably get messed up again after a few days though..

you have three options:
1. dont use the foot rest
2. use it, when it gets bad, change the plate.
3. since its an auto transmission, u can amputate ur left leg with no negative impact on driving ability.

Of these three options, number three seems to be the only solution that will net permanent results.

Just cover it with masking or vinyl tape. It's bound to get scratched up. Personally, I prefer to focus on more obvious stuff.
