Recently bought an R15, it has been great but it's a fingerprint magnet and it's quite annoying to keep cleaning it so many times. The surface is rubber-like. Is there anything i can do to stop this? Maybe a plastic wrap or some other way that you guys think is best?
 
Solution
If you stop cleaning it so often it won't show so much. It needs a decent variety of smudges on there and then they'll be less noticeable. I know this isn't really a solution but there isn't much option other than stripping the soft-touch plastic off and repainting (I don't recommend this).

I'll try not to clean it so often and see how it goes. Thanks for the reply though
 
I put a by vinyl wrap on mine . Used decalRus.com . They have all sorts and designs . I chose a brushed aluminum . They also let you design your own .
