tips for removing fingerprints from body? So my sweet (
) little nephew decided to run his hands down the one side of my car. The car has light dust on it from construction nearby and I'm worried the clear coat is scratched now and those marks will stay there even after a wash. Any tips getting that out? .... hand wash, clay and wax?
Thanks.

Just wash it like normal. They're just fingerprints. It isn't like he had sandpaper or anything. Probably would get more scratches just driving down the road than putting your hand on your car while there is dust resting on it.

Dry wiping a dusty car = clear coat damage.
NEVER dry wipe a car...
Keep it up and the paint will look like this:
OP wash the car and inspect if there is any marks. If there is you can remove them with a polisher or buffer.

if it has dust use adams waterless wash with a waffle weave towel. It helps wipe off the car without the scratches. Then use detail spray to leave it clean.
I cant imagine washing my whole car everytime it gets fingertips.

Are you wanting to remove your fingerprints? Heat works. ALOT of heat. You want to sear the pads of your fingers just enough to melt away any distinguishing lines. You could also cut off the layer of skin. I also saw on an episode of CSI where the perp got a razor blade and sliced his finger tips and then re-glued the pieces back on like a puzzle but purposely mixing it up so that the fingerprint was completely indistinguishable.
Or are you just wanting to remove prints from the body of your victim? I'd be more concerned about DNA residue. In which case, bleach works well.
I didn't bother reading your entire post because I'm in the middle of a "clean up" myself. But I saw your thread title and figured I'd offer up some advice. Good luck!
