    Prevention is easier than removal. Finger prints contain acids and
    can cause accelerated rust, so wipe them down with a rag dampened
    with light weight (5w20) clean motor oil (not WD-40 or spray oil)
    after use and occasionally thereafter when not used much. They may
    get fuzzy with dust as oil is attractive to dust, but as my shop
    teacher put it, "Dust don't rust".
