What are the best ways to prevent/clean fingerprints? Any rear camera solutions to keep it clean?

[kosmo886]

I know there are several threads on this topic, but hoping to get the latest and greatest suggestions for hopefully preventing fingerprints and removing them.

Ultimately I plan to get the truck wrapped, but want to drive it for a bit first to ensure no major issues.

Also curious if anyone has solved the issue with keeping the rear camera clean?

Have owned the truck for a month. I have not found fingerprints to be an issue. We don’t have kids. I tend to just close the door by pushing on the edge to get it moving it using the back of my arm as I get out. For whatever reason this has been how I close most car doors.

The couple of times people asked to check it out and did get fingerprints on it a simply microfiber removed them. For more suborn ones I put a little water on the microfiber.

I am also curious about the rear camera. We went camping and got some rain which made the dirt road wet. While it was raining the rear camera was mostly useless at low speeds, which is kind of when you need it the most. Higher speeds is was clean/clear enough to see. After it stopped raining and at higher speeds it cleared up fine. I do think for people that live in an area with lots of rain they will have to use the side view mirrors a little more.

Working on it ;-)

Fingerprints: SprayWay or Invisible Glass and Costco microfibers. My CT looks great. 15 minutes or so to clean the whole truck.

Rear Camera: No idea, other than a quick wipe with a shirt tail or small microfiber cloth. It would be awesome if Tesla could come up with a retrofit for a washer (like with the front camera).

any update on a solution to keep rear view camera clean. Not normally been an issue for me but rain today made it completely useless for me. First time it's been an issue, so looking to see if there have been any suggestions I have missed?

1) How about Rain-X? I have the window cleaner version. The water seems to drip off when the truck moves or hits a bump.

2) I was wondering if someone could 3D print a longer hood over the camera... that may help.
