Hi All, apologies if this has been posted before but i couldnt see anything in a search.

My wife has a 2008 black volkswagen jetta. on the boot door, there are clearly visible, 2 hand prints, and also one by a rear quarter panel. nothing I've tried will remove these, its like hand cream or something has reacted with the clearcoat and produced these marks.

the funny thing is, since I've spotted them on the wifes car, I now notice them on loads of other cars. Anyone any ideas on whats causing this / methods of repairing it?

Cheers!

I think its suncream. Had one on my car for a while, like you say none of the usual washing etc took it off, eventually got it with the aldi waterless wash/wax stuff, and scrubby side of a microfiber mitt, also from aldi. They do a nice job on the rest of the car too

Ultimately, there is only one method that completely removes these marks from your paintwork - machine polishing.
All other methods will only hide/mask the marks, only for them to reappear at varying timespans down the line.
