A night of thunder and fingerprints

Salutations, everyone. To the lucky folks whose vehicles are adorned with the breathtaking thundernight purple, I have a question. Paint clings to surfaces like a magnet. They're on the doors, the gas cap, the trunk lid, and I'm attempting to be careful about which parts of the bodywork I touch. Is there anything that can be done to make fingerprints less noticeable on paint?
I am grateful.

Do you use gloves?

Like a snooker referee?

It would look rather strange with marigolds, so I wouldn't suggest them.

My avatar's automobile is a Techno, which was a popular colour option in the past; other options were Daytona Violet, which was somewhat lighter than Techno, and Madeira Violate, which was reserved for cars without a M emblem.

Invest in a high-quality ceramic detailer to reduce the likelihood of hand oils adhering to the clear coat. It has many characteristics with BMW Techno Violet, another vehicle that has this issue.

I may try this out next weekend, depending on the weather. I am grateful.
