After having this baby for a week, I have noticed my velocity red captures more finger prints than the booking desk at the police station. Any suggestions on how to keep these suckers from showing up? I've applied 4 coats of Maguiars Gold thus far, but I don't know if the fingerprints are simply a result of the rediculously high temperatures here in dallas in combination with the wax.

 

I have noticed this as well! I "Liquid Glassed" my car a couple times and it shines like a diamond (Velocity Red like yours). But where I grab the finish, like opening the hood, on the top door frame, trunk lid, etc, there are GIANT DULL fingerprint marks! Eeek!! SO visible in the sun.

I guess the sealant is so good, the finish so shiny, that our grubby hands are not to be used without wearing white cotton gloves! Just like handling any rare and expensive item!

So I keep a lintless cloth under the seat, and like any good chauffer, you'll find me a cleaning the marks off, wherever, whenever. It's actually kinda fun IMO, and so lovingly done with such a shiny car... it's my baby! :D

 

I was hoping there was more of a high tech solution than what you have posted, however I too have the trusty lintless cloth in the glove compartment. Maybe I should actually consider putting white gloves in the "glove compartment.":D

Any dark color Zainos users care to comment?

 

use Meguairs Quick Detailer Spray. Just mist and wipe with a 100% cotton cloth. Fast and easy. Its also good for waxed cars. Works well if u have a few dirty spots and just want to take care of them fast, also use for rain water spots and dust.

 

I figured out how to close the trunk without touching the paint. Use the grab handle inside the front part of the lid. If you pull it quickly and snake your hand away, it will latch.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I've been trying to only touch the door handles when opening AND closing the doors.
