Some peoples kids, and parents.
I have 3 kids. No matter how many times I tell them not to touch, they do. I think the fingerprint problem is some crap the dealership sprayed on it. I am going to give it a good wash this weekend to see if it will help.

I've noticed that piano black "B" pillar that scratches looking at it, is a prime target. Two trucks with it, and same thing. I did cure that problem on my '17 by wrapping it with carbonfiber black vinyl. Reckon it's time to do the '20 as well.

I thankfully got the friends and family price, however he said it would be at least 2-3k for the full job for anyone else. Fingerprints still happen but easily wipe off with a microfiber cloth, shirt your wearing or mask nowadays

I got a quote for $1500. Went to a "Frend/Family" local reputable company and it was $799 with a 5-year warranty. Will full detail and clay bar and any paint correction needed. Coverage on all painted surfaces and plastic. Also, when my tonneau comes in he will do it too.

The OP’s truck looks great too.
I just ordered a foam cannon from Amazon yesterday. From the videos I've seen they work pretty well. Anxious to give it a try. I do use a leaf blower to dry my truck though...works well for me.

I had my 2015 Lariat done at Ziebart and it had a warranty but required an annual $250 refresher to keep that warranty. Also check into the products thier using, some are quite a bit better than others.
