I have a Black Base Roadster and it seems no matter how careful my girlfriend and I are when opening and closing the doors there are always finger prints all over the car. Besides the obvious fix of covering our hands does anyone know of any waxes I can apply to the car that won’t show any finger prints after touching the paint?

Thanks,
Scott

 

No such thing as a "fingerprint repellant". Get in the habit of closing the doors with the door handles and you'll be fine. My other car is a PT Cruiser Turbo and it has shiny black pillars on the doors - my wife was always closing the door with her fingertips there and I was constantly wiping them off. She eventually got tired of my complaints and started using the door handles instead.

In the meantime, pick up a bottle of Meguiar's Quik Detail spray and a microfiber towel. Give the fingerprinted area a quick spray and wipe and they'll be gone. I use this all the time after cracking safes so the law can't trace back to me.


C'mon...that last bit was funny!!!


And, no, it's not true.

 

EVERYTHING SHOWS UP ON A BLACK CAR!!!... as Mike stated get use to using the door handles and carry some detail spray and a micro fiber cloth in your trunk.

 

Only problem with a base car is that the handles are black too so they'll always show the prints. At least on the LTD we have the silver paint which doesn't show the prints.

 

Wear these...it really helps.
