The finish on my custom titanium frame was so prone to fingerprints and sweat marks that I could barely ride 10 minutes without it looking like I had never washed my bike. Before I do something more drastic, I will try to see if a protective coating can help without changing the appearance of the frame finish too much.
The coating:
- CR-1 (Sorry I don't know if this is available outside Japan)
https://www.cr-1.jp/product/personal.html
Bike wash products:
- Soap and water
- Simple Green Crystal
- Morgan Blue Chain Cleaner
