Removing scuff marks off of vintage linoleum

Does anyone have experience removing scuff marks from vintage linoleum or vinyl tile? This tile was laid in the late 60's, so I am unsure about the material. The scuff marks were caused by bicycle tires and I have tried several products and methods to remove them with no success. Overall, this tile has a wonderful retro look and I am very disappointed that I can't clean it. The scuffs are right at the entrance to the space, so I can't really disguise them. 
Have you trued a moistened magic eraser? I use the dollar store ones.
I find that a regular WHITE pencil eraser usually does the trick. It works on school floors.
If that doesn't work, perhaps a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will do the trick.
Here are several remedies to try. I would start with WD 40 or baking soda.

I just saw this too.
I was also going to suggest those magic erasers but also try rubbing alcohol.
Good old fashioned pencil (or pen) eraser!
I have used WD40. The rubber sole of flip flops or house slippers.
