rubbed small scuff on door panel below armrest

Hoping someone has some ideas, i saw a smudge on the door panel and was using cockpit premium and an MF towel but rubbed too hard and now there is a slight round scuff ( lighter in color ) at that spot. Can this be fixed?
I have boston leather but didnt know if this is leather or not. The interior is perfect and really would like to fix or make less noticeable.

Thank you in advance.
Dan

Ok, you guys are hilarious...

I thought I could upload pic on this site but I have to have a link to the hosted pic.
I am working on it now.

Thanks for hanging in there...

ok , here is the link to the pic. Its about 1.5mb in size and you can see where this is on the door. It looks like leather so I am hopeful it can be repaired enough so that it is not noticeable.

It's not leather, it's pleather, you can definitely tell when you feel it with your hand. Like I said, 303 took care of my scuff in the same area ALMOST completely. Someone may have a better option.

Excellent, I will pick some up this weekend and give it a shot. Apply it and let it dry? Or apply and gently wipe?

Thanks again!
