2016~2023 B Pillar Fingerprints Stain?

I just got a 2018 CX-9 with 16,500 miles on it. I love it so far, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to get rid of some "burned in" fingerprint smudging on the piano black B pillars. I've taken it to a wash bay, sprayed with both plain water and soap and taken a microfiber towel to them to no avail. Meguiar's Wash and Wax and Quik Detailer haven't made a mark either. The fingerprint marks seem stained in. Thinking about trying a Dawn, vinegar, water and isopropyl alcohol spray as a last resort. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on removing them?

EDIT: It's dark out, but I was using some Meguiar's Ultra Black on the plastic panels because it was a bit faded, decided to go ahead and try to wipe the pillars with it and it *appears* to have removed the smudges. It's dark out, so we'll see how it looks in the morning and see if it holds up!

Any luck with Meguiars? Mine has the same finger prints and I wiped it with water and now I have water spots on one of my b pillars. :(
