    i had tons of fingerprints on the vostro.. i decided sine i use it on tons of things to try a small bit of the eagle one spray wax on the cover spraying it on a microfiber towel though and not directly on the 1500.. rubbed it in a little bit then wiped it dry and now i have a nice slick surface that has no fingerprints and seems to repel them a lot better.. any form of no silicone detail apray would probably work just as well as long as they are a water based formula..

    If lightly damp cloth doesnt get rid of them, make sure whomever handles it to washes their hands after snacking and what not.

    a little bit but let it dry for a few minutes then buff it off with a dry soft cloth and it will not be so shiny..this will also make it look "even" with no smudges..
