Stained Black Door B Pillar Applique on 2016 Cx-9

:
2016 Mazda CX-9 GT
I am having some issues with all 4 Door B Pillar "Applique" that are the piano black color on the doors staining. Fingerprint marks and smudges all stay and show up white on there even after washing. I have attached an example of the location I am talking about. I don't have the CX-9 with me at this time to take a pic of what it looks like. I wanted to see if anyone else has this issue and how that cleaned it.

Have you tried wiping the area with a wet microfiber cloth after it's been washed, then wiping it dry with a different microfiber cloth?? That does the trick for me.

Piano black is well known for having these issues. You might want to look into a vinyl covering to reduce the appearance of fingerprints and protect against scratches.
