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.

Try Matt white paint. Grease and dirt everywhere. I litterally popped my bonnet did some work with gloves on, took gloves off and I have dirty finger prints. I didnt even have dirty hands lol
