Sun tan cream fingerprints on paintwork

Suggestions please to remove the above, left by one of my kids, on one of the rear passenger door exterior paintwork & also on my bonnet, when he kissed (!) it with his face/cheek. Don't you just love kids.

Is it simply a case of T-cut & polish? Car shampoo has zero effect.

Thanks

Chris

After washing the surface there are a lots of different ways you should be able to remove the lotion. I would first try wiping down those surfaces with Goo-Gone or a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth (microfiber preferably). If that doesn't work you can try using a clay bar and then polish it as you suggested. If you need to polish (i.e. Menzerna Final Polish II) I would start with a light polish and get more aggressive as needed. Please let me know if you have any questions about these suggestions or anything else related to detailing.
