I have a Nikon D800 camera box that was once new and shiny. I noticed there are several hand/finger prints all over the covering of the box. I tired hot water/elbow grease and then some rubbing alcohol. Nothing. The box has a high grade coating suitable for printing the lable on it. Almost like a wraper.

Any ideas?

Orange oil, maybe. If isopropyl/rubbing alcohol didn't do it, though, maybe it's not likely to come off.

Are you trying to sell the camera?

If not, I would like to point out that you are weird.

Damon Wayans hosted a very informative show titled This Ol' Box. I'm sure you could google that and get some pointers.

should come off with damp microfiber towel. try some dish soap if water is not strong enough.

Clean with some rubbing alcohol while leaving it damp, then light a zippo (regular lighter that will still lit) and slowly move it around the box.

Box will look brand new I swear it.
