Default Door panel smudges

Did a quick search for this but didn't find much. My new 3 week old 2016 GS350 has a black interior and I am seeing lots of smudges / smears on the door panels and arm rest. I can easily get them off with a quick spray of Mcguires interior detail on a microfiber towel and a wipe. Seems very sensitive to the touch. Does it need a sealer of some sort or what?

Thanks,
Jim

Dark colors may show these smudges more than a lighter color but you might try using something like Leather Masters Protection Cream. This will seal the surface that and help to resist some of this. In-between, a wipe-down with either a damp cotton towel or Meguiar's Quik Inter Detailer will quickly wipe them away. Both of these work equally well on coated leather or vinyl. Take care on the dash so as not to rub too hard with a microfiber as it may burnish the surface and make it look shiny.
