Door handles are fingerprint MAGNETS!

[insaneoctane]

Love the chrome look, so I am not looking to chrome delete or even stealth / matte them..... But MY GOD these things get soiled quick! Anyone found a good solution that maintains the chrome appearance?

No, but you are right. I am constantly wiping down.

I put on the RPM Tesla clear door handle protection film and it has prevented scratches and I never notice fingerprints.

Or chrome delete them

RPM sells a clear wrap that should help.

Did you get a coating done on the car? If not, would that help in keeping fingerprints and/or scratches to a minimum?

I got a clear bra on the front and I put on a ceramic coating on the rest. However, ceramic coating does not prevent fingerprints on the chrome.

Good to know. Thanks.

If you are going to put a film on them, why not just put a patina of fingerprints on the handle. I actually LIKE that they are so shiny when you buff them out. Cannot think of a way to protect the finish from prints that doesn't impact the look.

Wear gloves. And make all of your passengers wear gloves.

Not sure if you were responding to me but I was referring to a ceramic coating and not film but apparently the coating does not prevent fingerprints.
