yea thats so true - if your fingers were dirty (eg. charcoal level dirtness), the fingerprints would be alot more prominent on satin & alot harder to remove.

I'm not sure you understand what a satin finish is. Dirt and grime don't "creep in" past a satin finish any more than they do past a gloss finish. And they're not harder to remove dirt or grime from either - usually a lightly damp cloth will do the trick, whereas polish compound looks nicer for cleaning up gloss finish.

I'm a big fan of the fingerprint factor, too, which is why I have a satin finish on my guitar.
