I can't get the finger prints off, have used a eye glass cloth with a little bit of water and wipe it down but that area is covered by tiny swirl marks LOL. Can't see it with the naked eye but can see if you shine a iphone flash light on the surface.
Man i hate that metal casing, would be so much better if its just all white or black so it doesn't scratch easy!!!
I had a lot of trouble with it as well. What I did was remove the plates, if you press gently on the pointy parts, the rear rounded part pops out and you can pull them right out. Then I washed them with warm soapy water. But like you I still had superficial swirl marks from previous cleanings. So I put a dab of toothpaste on a microfibre cloth and I cleaned the plates very gently with that in circular motions. But I was gentle not to completely remove the gold plating as toothpaste is abrasive and I believe the gold plating is very very thin. That did the trick and it removed the superficial swirl marks. I then rinsed again with hot water which evaporated really fast. For the few water marks that were left I simply used my breath and a dry soft microfibre cloth to wipe them. I would say they are almost as good as new looking.
