A clay bar should get it off

clay or polish

I know a couple of people whose kids have touched the paintwork with sunscreen on, seems to have permamently damaged the paintwork, but looks like like light coloured greasy fingerprints.
Apparently things like Titanium oxide in the sunscreen cause accelerated ageing.
A more aggressive polish will be required.

Polish or cutting compound and then some wax to protect

It does look pretty epic though mate! Shouldn't be too bad, being matte could be a nightmare more than anything else

This would work, it would however also remove the paint as well as the marks
Re: greasy marks - Connor - 27-03-2012
