Removing fingerprints from interior plastics

ScottMZ3 · 08-31-2018, 06:35 PM

What are you guys using to remove/clean fingerprints on the interior plastics? I generally only use a damp MF towel to wipe down the inside, but it just doesn’t seem to remove fingerprints. Especially from the door panel textured plastics. I tried using a rubbing alcohol wipe on them and didn’t help. You can see some prints on the door panel below.

Ideas? I don’t want to use any product that adds even a tiny bit of shine to the interior...can’t stand shiny/greasy looking interiors!

Poorboys natural look....no shine, just clean.

Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner will remove the greasy fingerprints.

303 is the best cleaner/protector for the money. Not only does it have UV protection that almost none have but it's easy to apply and let it sit for 15 min then wipe off and wow!

He wants no shine though and 303 has a shine.

303 is what i use for all my mobile detail customers. I like the wipes and i keep a spray bottle of 303 to refresh the wipe when it gets dry.

Thanks for the replies! Yeah, I definitely want the no shine/greasy look. I'll check out the Meguiar's wipes.

No, you mean Meguiar's all purpose cleaner, not wipes. It doesn't come in wipes. Meguiar's APC is safe for all surfaces.

The 303 Interior Protectant comes in wipes as well as spray.

I was going to say the same thing.

I think it actually assists in preventing fingerprints, as well as dust.

It definitely does. It works great on everything but it really shines on vinyl and plastic. Cleans, protects and shines it just a tad. Makes everything blow right off.

If you don't want ANY shine or protection what so ever then just an All Purpose Cleaner + brush/rag should make quick work of it.

Meg’s all purpose cleaner for the win.

Thanks! I'll see about getting that Meguiar's All-Purpose Cleaner. Looks like it just comes in a 1 gallon size! Guess it will last me a long time!
