Default How do i close the door on my S2K?

Okay so here is the deal...

I got a berlina black s2k and i want to keep it clean.

I bought a duster but it leaves streaks because it takes about 2-3 or more uses before it stops leaving streaks. (something about paraffin) So i have been using it on my wife's 06' Charcoal Accord tongue.gif



I noticed that there are a lot of fingerprints and "oils" on the driver and passenger side door.

My question is where and how is the best way to close the door without leaving marks.

I just want the car to look semi-clean.
The car is a dust magnet and a bird pooped on the center console today.

I parked the car in a 15min parking zone and when i got back there was a Bird POOP the size of a pancake (w/ nuts) splattered across the center console.

when mine is clean, I actually try remember to close the door by using my fingertip on the indented area below the door handle.

or,

you could close it with a foam applicator with just a smidge of klasse sg, and follow it up with a few wipes of the microfiber towel that you keep in your back pocket (in a plastic zip lock, of course, to prevent contamination)

Don't own bb but i always just close car doors by 1 finger on the keyhole then push shut. When i tell people why i do that when they see me close mine or there door they are always amazed. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's smart makes sense guy hehe haha .

If you don't have the key hole covers on your doors, you can just put your finger in the key hole spot and close the door that way. Or sometimes I'll put my hand on the edge of the glass to close the door.

**EDIT** D'oh. Didn't see the above post. Great idea! haha

Close the door with your fingers on the inside part of the door handle. You won't be able to leave any prints that you can see. Did that since day one!
