For me, I just keep a well cleaned small microfiber towel in the car and just wipe it down periodically. I want to keep it nice anyway so it will remind me.to detail it a bit. Though haven't had much of an issue with prints, but it's winter so hands are dryer.

My sales associate will be asking the PDI team to leave the plastic protective film on the few shiny black plastic pieces.

I will be very carefully pulling those off and placing them on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper.

I will either just manually cut Swarm style skins to the outline or scan them, convert to vector and see if a friend with a laser cutter can make them for me.

I’ll keep you posted on how well this works out. If it doesn’t turn out well, they are easy to peel off.
So, has anyone tried anything yet?

@n6nl?

I'd be curious to see what it looks like..

So far the only passive way I've seen to diminish the shiny piano black panels is to not clean them. A nice layer of dust and dirt from the outside world of adventures of Minion who runs Cross Country helps. :geek:

I was sure I was going to hate all the shiny black but so far it hasn't been that bothersome. I do have a microfiber cloth handy in the driver's door pocket to wipe away dust, but the shinyness part isn't as annoying as I thought it would be.

A bigger concern is all the fingerprints that make their way onto the touchscreen (my last car's screen was non-touch).

I haven’t gone down the route of covering those shiny surfaces yet, when what I wanted to use needed an adhesive applied, which I wasn’t sure I could remove without damage if I didn’t like how it turned out.

Living with it for now.
