How to get a handprint off

[Funnydirt14]

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? They've worked on a few problem things I've tried.

Yep........... Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and some ammonia free glass cleaner or the easy off oven cleaner will work.

Do you think it matters if I fire it up in the mean time

I would not. The heat may allow the oils to go further in as the ceramic expands

I don't think anyone linked to the ceramic cleaner for stove cook tops...

Could also give tooth paste on a soft dampened cloth a try on a small area and see if that polishes it out.

If your unable to remove the hand print would oiling the rest of the glass to blend it in be an option? Wouldn't know what oil to use but it might be a last resort.

Yeah, everyone touch the glass all over!

May not be the oils from skin but something else. I have a stainless rifle that I managed to rust the thumb safety.

Sure the action isn't steel?

So small update didn't have time to get the easy off and hit another bump my husband turned the stove on without realizing I was trying to keep it off. We we'll see what happens now. Thanks for all the advice. The dealer said I probilty shouldn't of used the rutlands on the outside too it will scratch the mirror part so great I feel like I'm making the situation worse with every step. I can tell you after this I'm not a fan of the mirror glass its not the best or most practical if it was just plain ceramic it would of baked off. It wouldn't of scratched that easy and I could of just taken a razor to it without damaging the finish.

That made me laugh by the way

On another note you can't see the print when the stove is on either only when cleaning it.

I think your dealer is just trying to make a sale on replacement parts so he can make some nice margin.

don't worry about taking the mirror off, it's not a coating. Some bit of sorcery, they suspend a mixture of metals within the glass itself that allows light to only pass through in one direction but when heat in concentrated on one spot...i.e. touching the glass, the metals can rise toward the surface in that spot, thus creating the illusion that there is a hand print when in fact there is not. It's a texture thing that allows color to be refracted differently. Technical word I believe is metamerism.
