My VW camper had very bad white marks where palms and fingers had touched the paintwork.
The garage said it was sun lotion and there was nothing you could do about it.
I had tried paint restorer which helps but it does not get rid of the marks.
I read online that orange or lemon rind rubbed into the area solves the problem.
I first rubbed the area with Autoglym Paint Restorer then rubbed the area with the rind and the marks were gone!
Must be the acid in the rind.
It seems that lacquered metallics and German cars are worse. No problem with the Morgan.

I had this problem on our Tintop (Citroen). The dealer said the same as above - 'nothing could be done'. But when polishing the chrome on my Roadster with Solvol Autosol I thought 'Would this work?' A quick wipe brought an instant improvement, and less than fifteen minutes work eliminated them all. I then dealt with my Son and Daughter in law's cars (much worse marks than mine - they cover their two boys in sun lotion) and they (the cars, not the boys) now look pristine!
