Is there anyway to clean off finger prints on your paint? It looks like there's faint marks of finger prints on my front bumper that I never really noticed until I was cleaning up my car for a meet.

Find out the finger prints belong to who, then let him pay for it,lol, I guess U can try wet sand+touch up paint,

I solve this with #1200/#1500 water sand paper + water, a polishing compound and 2 cold beer.

Doesn't that remove the clear coat?

Finger prints are probably his

I were you and really want to get rid of them, go to a reputable car wash and ask the guy whose drying your car to remove them for you (have $5 ready). He will know what to do once he takes your tip.

NO need for sand paper

If you have a polisher, break it out.

If you don't...a (PC)Porter Cable 7424XP is one of the best out there.

If it were me, I would do the following

First Pass
Use the PC with an Orange (LC) Lake Country Pad and use Prima Swirl
Second Pass
Use the PC with a White LC Pad and use Prima Swirl again
Third Pass
Use the PC with a White LC Pad and use Prima Amigo
Last Pass
Use thenPC with a Black Pad and use Prima Epic

Then I would proceed to do the WHOLE car because the results will BLOW YOU AWAY.
Your paint will NEVER have looked this good.

Depends if the finger prints are deep into the clear coat. With a DAP, it will take forever to remove them if they are deep. I spent 10 minutes on a bird bomb that etched the clear coat, didn't do anything except swirl up all the paint around it. 2000 grit sand paper it, a quick polish, and it was gone in 5 minutes..

+1 for the comment on polishing you whole car. It will look amazing . Seal it with some Optimum Opti-Coat afterwards and you won't have to worry about clear coat.

you guys sweat acid or something?

unless the guy was touching his freshly painted bumper to see if it was dry yet then how do finger prints etch your clearcoat?

Hit it with some waterless wash and call it a day...

I think wetsanding & polishing is your best bet.

WOAH~ hold up with the wet sanding talk and using a PC...

First grab a polish sponge (or a mf pad if sponge is unavailable) put a dab of polish (or meguiars scratch X) on it and rub it out by hand first that should work.

Be careful. Always use the least aggressive method first.
